About this title

Review

Admirably, Gibson and colleagues' work completely fills the gap in all respects of formulation aspects of pharmaceutical development, which is explored in considerable detail for every dosage form. ...At 596 pages, including an extensive and well-formulated index, and with each chapter heavily referenced, this text has an obvious place in postgraduate courses of industrial pharmacy, but also in industry for practitioners of the art. ...Overall, a terrific, timely and succinct edition that very well meets its scope and objective.
