Description and Table of Contents

Description

Excipients and Delivery Systems for Pharmaceutical Formulations focuses on the many problems associated with the formulation of drugs whether in tablet, liquid or capsule form. Areas covered include drug delivery systems, binding and coating, tableting, drug targeting and excipient selection, as well as aspects of good manufacturing practice. The book covers many areas of pharmaceutical excipients and delivery systems that will interest both formulators and producers of these materials. It describes a representative range of binders, coatings and controlled release systems, including cellulose derivatives, starches, alginates, chitosan, xanthan gum and glycerides. Other topics discussed include attempts to globalise the use of some excipients, trends in medical and pharmaceutical fields to the year 2000, and the US Food and Drug Administration's approach to bulk pharmaceutical chemical production. Excipients and Delivery Systems for Pharmaceutical Formulations will provide a useful introduction for those relatively unfamiliar with this highly technical subject, as it gives broad coverage of a very diverse area. The book will also be essential reading for those more experienced in the production and formulation of pharmaceutical excipients, as it documents some of the most innovative recent developments.
