Great Product

Sorry for the long delay, let it slip from me with the semester beginning. This book is just as was described, in pristine condition and shipped wonderfully. Thank you.

Excellent book on basic pharmaceutical knowledge

I really found this book to be helpful for my pharmaceutics class. It provides detailed information on how pharmaceuticals are made. I plan to use it when I study for the Pharmacy Board exam upon graduation. The key thing to remember is that it contains BASIC knowledge about how drugs are manufactured. Warning: The professor and the student must be careful to supplement this book with additional reading material if the physics and chemistry behind drug production are covered in-depth during the pharmaceutics class.
