Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Capsules covers the development, composition, and manufacture of capsules. Despite the important role that capsules play in drug delivery and product development, few comprehensive texts on the science and technology of capsules have been available for the research and academic environments. This text addresses this gap, discussing how capsules provide unique capabilities and options for dosage form design and formulation.

To understand the drug interactions you must have a good grasp of the unit operations involved in making a tablet. This book's strategy is to begin with the fundamental physical and chemical processes that the different unit operations use and then apply this knowledge to the discussion of the different unit operations and processes.

The ultimate goal of drug product development is to design a system that maximizes the therapeutic potential of the drug substance and facilitates its access to patients. Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Third Edition is a comprehensive resource of the design, formulation, manufacture, and evaluation of the tablet dosage form, and with over 700 illustrations it guides pharmaceutical scientists and engineers through difficult and technical procedures in a simple easy-to-follow format.
