Pharmaceutical Calculations: A Conceptual Approach, is a book that
combines conceptual and procedural understanding for students and
will guide you to master prerequisite skills to carry out accurate
compounding and dosage regimen calculations. It is a book that
makes the connection between basic sciences and pharmacy. It
describes the most important concepts in pharmaceutical sciences
thoroughly, accurately and consistently through various
commentaries and activities to make you a scientific thinker, and
to help you succeed in college and licensure exams. Calculation of
the error associated with a dose measurement can only be carried
out after understanding the concept of accuracy versus precision in
a measurement. Similarly, full appreciation of drug absorption and
distribution to tissues can only come about after understanding the
process of transmembrane passive diffusion. Early understanding of
these concepts will allow reinforcement and deeper comprehension of
other related concepts taught in other courses. More weight is
placed on the qualitative understanding of fundamental concepts,
like tonicity vs osmotic pressure, diffusion vs osmosis,
crystalloids vs colloids, osmotic diuretics vs plasma expanders,
rate of change vs rate constants, drug accumulation vs drug
fluctuation, loading dose vs maintenance dose, body surface area
(BSA) vs body weight (BW) as methods to adjust dosages, and much
more, before considering other quantitative problems. In one more
significant innovation, the origin and physical significance of all
final forms of critical equations is always described in detail,
thus, allowing recognition of the real application and limitations
of an equation. Specific strategies are explained step-by-step in
more than 100 practice examples taken from the fields of
compounding pharmacy, pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology
and medicine.
