Are your exams coming up? Are you drowning in textbooks and lecture notes and wondering where to begin? Take the FASTtrack route to study successfully for your examinations.

FASTtrack provides the ultimate lecture notes and is a must-have for all pharmacy students wanting to study and test themselves for forthcoming exams.

FASTtrack: Physical Pharmacy focuses on what pharmacy students really need to know in order to pass exams providing concise, bulleted information, chapter overviews, key points, and an all-important self-assessment section which includes multiple choice questions (MCQs).

This FASTtrack book is a revision guide for students giving bullet points of basic information on physical pharmacy. This text is derived from the textbook Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy and is designed to be used alongside it for those revision periods when time is short. It includes key points, tips, self assessment questions/answers and memory maps to aid with revision.

For this second edition there is a new chapter added on pharmaceutical nanotechnology, and clinical notes are incorporated, in line with the new edition of Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy.
