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.
