Modern Pharmaceutics

"Modern Pharmaceutics" offers a comprehensive exploration of the foundational principles and advanced topics in pharmaceutical science. Authored by Archana S. Patil and Yadishma Gaude, the book covers five core units: pre-formulation concepts, validation, current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and industrial management, compression and compaction, and the study of consolidation parameters. Designed as an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals, it provides in-depth insights into drug formulation, stability testing, quality assurance, and manufacturing processes. The book integrates theoretical frameworks with practical applications, making it a valuable reference for understanding the complexities of pharmaceutical production and regulation.

This first edition of Modern Pharmaceutics delves into the critical aspects of drug development and manufacturing. The book begins with pre-formulation studies, emphasizing the physicochemical properties of drug molecules and their compatibility with excipients. It progresses to validation processes and the implementation of cGMP standards to ensure product safety and efficacy. Further, the text explores industrial techniques such as compression and compaction, alongside an analytical study of consolidation parameters vital for dosage form design. Rich in scientific detail, this text aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industrial practice, serving as a guide for creating stable, efficient, and high-quality pharmaceutical products.
