Description
Basic Fundamentals of Drug Delivery covers the fundamental principles, advanced methodologies and technologies employed by pharmaceutical scientists, researchers and pharmaceutical industries to transform a drug candidate or new chemical entity into a final administrable drug delivery system. The book also covers various approaches involved in optimizing the therapeutic performance of a biomolecule while designing its appropriate advanced formulation.- Provides up-to-date information on translating the physicochemical properties of drugs into drug delivery systems- Explores how drugs are administered via various routes, such as orally, parenterally, transdermally or through inhalation- Contains extensive references and further reading for course and self-study
