Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy
Fourth edition
Alexander T Florence - Former Dean, School of Pharmacy, University of London, UK and David Attwood - School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Manchester, UK
Physical chemistry is the basis of rational pharmaceutical formulation and processing, and is fundamental to understanding the complexities of drug delivery and drug absorption.
This book provides the physicochemical background to the design and use of pharmaceutical dosage forms. It goes beyond the introductory aspects of the subject to show how basic physicochemical principles are essential to the understanding of every aspect of drug action, from the dosage form to the site of action in the body.
The fourth edition of this well established textbook has been thoroughly revised and re-structured and includes new examples and new figures. In addition it is now presented in a new two-colour design to aid learning and ensure the layout is clear and accessible.

Reviews:
31-Jan-10, Quote From a Lecturer:
'This book is excellent. It is the most accessible book I have read on the topic and is perfect for undergraduate pharmacy students. When the book is revised I would suggest adding more example calculations at the back of the textbook. This would aid students greatly.'
Michael Taylor, Lecturer in Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Central Lancashire, January 2010
01-Jan-07, Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy:
'The writing is clear and pharmaceutically relevant examples are provided throughout the text...an excellent reference for both graduate students and scientists in the pharmaceutical industry, as it provides and overview of the physicochemical principles important in pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics.'
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 33:209, 2007
