This book is conceived to reflect the practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy. The contents of this book are an integral part of the syllabi prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India and Indian universities. This practical book covers whole of the experimental component specified in the syllabus. Authors have made special attempts to cover all aspects ranging from preformulation studies, dosage form design, product manufacturing process and evaluation. This book only discusses relevant information and has been written in simple, straightforward language. The main motivation behind this book was to cover all the important practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy I under one umbrella at an affordable price to encourage students to read and learn.

This book contains essential knowledge on the preparation, control, logistics, dispensing and use of medicines. It features chapters written by experienced pharmacists working in hospitals and academia throughout Europe, complete with practical examples as well as information on current EU-legislation. From prescription to production, from usage instructions to procurement and the impact of medicines on the environment, the book provides step-by-step coverage that will help a wide range of readers. It offers product knowledge for all pharmacists working directly with patients and it will enable them to make the appropriate medicine available, to store medicines properly, to adapt medicines if necessary and to dispense medicines with the appropriate information to inform patients and caregivers about product care and how to maintain their quality. This basic knowledge will also be of help to industrial pharmacists to remind and focus them on the application of the medicines manufactured. The basic and practical knowledge on the design, preparation and quality management of medicines can directly be applied by the pharmacists whose main duty is production in community and hospital pharmacies and industries. Undergraduate as well as graduate pharmacy students will find knowledge and backgrounds in a fully coherent way and fully supported with examples.

It was suggested by many teachers engaged in the field of Pharmacy that there is a need for Laboratory manual of physical pharmacy as it is the fundamental course of basic pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Analysis.

We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Physical Pharmaceutics II'. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. A sincere attempt has been made through this manual to provide practical knowledge to the students related to various experiments in Physical Pharmaceutics II. The manual mainly includes the experiments through which the students will learn how the basic properties of drug like solubility, dissolution, can limit the bioavailability of drug and in turn the efficacy of the drug. The solubility enhancement techniques like reduction of particle size, use of solubilizing agents or prodrugs etc. are also discussed. The students will also learn about the importance of drug stability and how the parameters like temperature, pH, humidity and light can affect the drug stability. Physical pharmaceutics is very important subject which helps the researchers to design and formulate various dosage forms including its manufacturing aspects. The students will be proficient in handling various equipment used in physical pharmaceutics laboratory. The students will also be able to determine pKa, partition coefficient, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, HLB value, stability constant, buffer capacity, etc. in the laboratory. We have taken extra efforts to make the experiments simpler, easy to understand and perform. The graphs have also been provided wherever necessary. Each experiment is divided into sections like aim, practical significance, relevant course outcomes, practical skills, relevant affective domain related outcomes, practical outcomes, minimum theoretical background, requirements, related questions, and references. The manual has been designed with more emphasis on the practical skill improvement of the students so that the students can perform the practical with ease and comfort. We are very much thankful to the designer, publisher, printers and all the stakeholders for putting their efforts for successfully bringing this manual out for the students. Hope this manual will help the students to learn the concept, principles and perform the experiments. We wish them all the best!!!
