About the Book:

"A Comprehensive Book on Experimental Pharmaceutics" is your ultimate guide to mastering the art of formulating dosage forms and conducting experiments with ease. This book is a comprehensive resource that aims to provide you with the state-of-the-art information on the formulation, excipients, analysis, and operating procedures in the simplest way possible. With this book, you will be able to understand the principles of experiments along with procedures for carrying them out.

The contents of this book cover a wide range of topics, including UV-TLC analysis of drugs and dosage forms, release kinetics graphs and calculations, optimization techniques, standard operating procedures, IR of commonly used drugs, polymer and surfactants detail, and systems of weights and measures. You will also find information about often used drugs and the exclusive feature of incorporation of experiments related to formulation along with the estimation of pharmacokinetic properties of drugs based on biological samples.
