PRACTICAL HANDBOOK OF PHYSICAL PHARMACEUTICS  (English, Paperback, Deepak Shrivastava)

Physical pharmacy is the branch of pharmacy that concentrates on the application of physics and chemistry to the study of pharmacy. In other words, it is the study of the effects dosage forms have on their environment by addressing issues at the molecular level.[1] It emphasis on the physical characteristics and actions of the drug delivery system before the same is given to the patient.[1] It forms the basis for design, manufacture, and distribution of drug products and serves as the foundation for the stable and proper use of medical drugs.[2] It covers areas such as solubility, pharmacokinetics and drug delivery. Physical pharmacy serves as principles that guide the pharmaceutical developments.[2] It also serves as a basis for the understanding of drug absorptions, distributions, metabolism, and eliminations that happen during the course of drug treatment
