The key theme of the book is pharmaceuticals - what every student of pharmaceutical sciences should know: from the active pharmaceutical ingredients to the preparation of various dosage forms along with the relevant chemistry, this book makes pharmaceuticals relevant to undergraduate students of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.This book explains how a particular drug was discovered and then converted from lab-scale to manufacturing scale, to the market. It explains the motivation for drug discovery, the reaction chemistry involved, experimental difficulties, various dosage forms and the reasoning behind them, mechanism of action, quality assurance and role of regulatory agencies. After having a course based on this book, the student will be able to understand: 1) the career prospects in the pharmaceutical industry, 2) the need for interdisciplinary teamwork in science, 3) the techniques and technology involved in making pharmaceuticals starting from bulk drugs, and 4) different dosage forms and critical factors in the development of pharmaceutical formulations in relation to the principles of chemistry.A few blockbuster drugs including atorvastatin, sildanefil, ranitidine, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, and the longest serving drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol are discussed in detail. Finally, the book also covers the important current pharmaceutical issues like quality control, safety, counterfeiting and abuse of drugs, and future prospects for pharmaceutical industry.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of figures and tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Career prospects in the pharmaceutical industry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Drugs, medicines, and regulatory authorities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Bulk drugs or active pharmaceutical ingredients\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Formulated drugs 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Formulated drugs 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The stability of medicines\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Quality assurance in medicines\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Pharmacological concepts and drugs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: The top five most common or long-selling drugs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Life-style drugs, statins, COX-2 drugs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Counterfeit drugs and drug abuse\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: New pharmaceutical technology and pharmaceuticals\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Future prospects for the pharmaceutical industry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Pharmaceutical case studies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Pharmacology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Pharmacology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Pharmacology%20%5BMMG%5D%22\"\u003eMMG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Freshly Printed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648339464472,"sku":"9781907568527","price":50.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781907568527.jpg?v=1694584007","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/an-introduction-to-pharmaceutical-sciences-production-chemistry-techniques-and-technology-paperback-9781907568527","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
