The fourth edition of Modern Pharmaceutics follows the same format and has the same goals as previous editions. Chapter 1 sets the stage by reviewing the role of drugs and drug products in treating and preventing disease, while also summarizing their primary quality features. Chapters 2 through 6 provide background that is fundamental to an understanding of drug action and the design of drug products. Chapter 7, on preformulation, is another fundamentals chapter, describing the manner in which drugs are characterized for their physical, chemical, and pharmacokinetic properties to provide a rational and scientific basis for drug product design.
Chapters 8 through 16 describe drug products and dosage forms, together with the routes of administration by which they are given. Chapters 17 through 28 also treat topics critical to drug product quality such as packaging, optimization, and food and drug laws, in addition to examining more specialized product classes and introducing several new chapters. As in previous editions, this book once again ends with a view to the future.
