Gibaldi's Drug Delivery Systems in Pharmaceutical Care

Gibaldi's Drug Delivery Systems in Pharmaceutical Care, an innovative new textbook, demonstrates how the modern clinical pharmacist can integrate knowledge in pharmaceutical sciences and therapeutics with appreciation of patient-specific factors to best meet patient needs.

This text seeks to make therapeutics a critical component of teaching about dosage forms and to make dosage forms and drug delivery systems an integral part of instruction in therapeutics. Concise objectives, helpful tables and figures, and a comprehensive glossary and list of references tie together concepts of traditional pharmaceutics and with therapeutics essential for everyday practice.


Each chapter represents a collaboration of a clinical pharmacist practitioner and a pharmaceutical scientist. This unique perspective takes the science of dosage form design and helps translate the theory into the pragmatic.
