Calculation in pharmacy is wide and broad-based starting from dispensing to manufacturing, quality control, research and development in pharmaceutical industries. This is an important subject area for any student pursuing pharmacy course irrespective of level of the course. Thus, the students during their course of studies and pharmaceutical technologists during their work need to know calculations related to (1) Physical and chemical properties of active ingredients and excipients, (2) Rate of absorption, (3) Biological activity, and (4) Rate of degradation of the drug substances. There is need to have such book on pharmaceutical calculations that can fulfill the needs of Institutions as well as industries. The book, Elementary Pharmaceutical Calculations has been designed so that it can meet the needs of students. The content of the book has been divided into 13 chapters. Each chapter begins with introductory description of concept, relevant formulas with derivation and then examples to explain how the formula can be used to solve problems; finally at the end there are problems given to solve.

In India, Community Pharmacy Practice is considered as retail store pharmacy where the primary focus is trade. Although the concept of pharmacy practice is well defined and appreciated and practiced in western part of the world since 90's, in India, it is growing concept. Patient focused practice is slowly realizing with introduction of clinical pharmacy education in India since 1996. Unfortunately lack of trained staff, non availability of the text books to meet the academic needs of students studying pharmacy practice was a big challenge. To overcome this challenge, a sincere effort was made to bring out this text book on community pharmacy practice. The Text book covers Scope and Growth of Community Pharmacy Practice Pharmaceutical Care practices Pharmacy Management Patient focused Services Ethics in Pharmacy Practice

Packaging technology has become a separate subject in pharmaceutical sciences due to its vital applications in preserving therapeutic efficacy of drugs. The subject was less understood earlier due to non-availability of complete information. This book presents detailed account in the form of a specialized book on the subject. Blisters and strips packaging are of growing importance and so a chapter is included on this topic. Parenteral, and ophthalmic products need sterilized packaging, therefore a chapter covering unique features for sterilizing packaging materials has been included. A chapter on regulatory aspects of Pharmaceutical packaging has also been added. Our Reader's demand motivated us to include a chapter on Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) packaging technology in upcoming second edition of this book.Salient Features·Each chapter is arranged to facilitate the effortless flow of information in simple, motivating, and commonsensical approach.·Detailed physico-chemical information on raw material e.g. glass, plastic, polymers, metals etc. used in Pharmaceutical packaging is presented·More informative emphasize has been made on Pharmaceutical packaging design based on characteristic properties of materials used in packaging.·A chapter on quality control and stability testing of packages explains the shelf-life concern aspects of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

Medicines are perhaps the greatest weapons of the mankind to fight diseases and death, but are double edged weapons. They help recovering from illness and restoring health if used properly; but can harm if not used appropriately, even causing life threatening situations including death. Inappropriate medicine use is unnecessary wastage of resources. Medicines have helped increasing life expectancy but in some situations they have harmed too. The antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective due resistance developed by random use. The book provides guidance on using medicines appropriately in a simple and easily understandable language. The book intends to empower the readers with skill and knowledge to make informed decisions about how to use medicines (including when not to use them) and get the maximum benefit. It helps to understand the importance of medicines inindividual's health. The second edition of the book is updated with the new information on medicines as available. Many new themes are introduced with value addition like cartoons. It is a comprehensive medicine user guide for common public. A must for every one!

Quality by design (QbD) is extensively used tool in formulation and development. QbD is a method of choice in product development for robust and quality product incorporating continuous improvement. The objective of the book is to study the implementation of QbD and wide-ranging QbD based product development template for different formulations and analytical procedures. The way QbD is implemented in Pharmaceutical Industry, Academicians/ Institutes are way behind in this competition. The reason being, concepts of QbD are poorly explored byPharma Researchers due to nonexistence of expertise and resources. Researchers tend to adapt moderately the principles of QbD due to inadequate understanding of QbD principles. The use of QbD in formulation development will be advantageous to young researchers and academics.
