Key Features

Solid Foundation in Industrial Pharmacy

This reference goes beyond just theory—it walks through the science of pharmaceutical technology and industrial-scale operations. Readers explore both solid dosage, liquid dosage, and semi-solid dosage formulations with in-depth focus on drug properties, solubility, stability, and compatibility with different excipients.

From Preformulation to Formulation Design

Chapters on preformulation help readers understand how to evaluate raw materials before scaling up. It covers excipient selection, formulation strategy, granulation, and tablet coating—everything needed for smart, efficient formulation development.

Comprehensive Look at Manufacturing Processes

Whether it’s the basics of batch manufacturing or advanced concepts like process validation, scale-up, and process optimization, this textbook offers clear insights into modern manufacturing processes. Readers will also gain knowledge in automation and handling of raw materials with an industrial mindset.

Quality Control & Assurance

Quality is key in pharmacy. The book dives deep into quality control, quality assurance, cleaning validation, analytical validation, and microbial testing. With practical case scenarios, it builds skills necessary to maintain pharmaceutical compliance throughout the production process.

Drug Delivery Systems & Innovation

This edition covers advanced drug delivery systems like sustained release, controlled release, transdermal patches, nanoparticles, and liposomal formulations. It links innovation directly to improved therapeutic outcomes and patient compliance.

Sterile Products & Packaging Solutions

There’s an entire section dedicated to sterile products—including injectables and ophthalmic products—alongside guidance on stability testing, packaging technology, and the use of stability chambers. These chapters also explore ways to ensure optimal shelf life and the role of packaging materials.

Regulatory Affairs & GMP

The regulatory side isn’t left out. From complying with FDA, EMA, and WHO standards to understanding cGMP and preparing batch records, this book acts as a training manual for future pharmaceutical leaders. It’s also an excellent aid in learning about bioequivalence, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and understanding a reliable dissolution profile.
