A Text Book of Pharmaceutical Formulation Technology

The basis for this text book stemmed from my passion for developing better methods prevention of diseases and novel methods in development of clinical methods in various treatments of diseases. As the world moves into the digital age generating vast amount of data and born digital content there will be a greater need to access legacy material created with outdated technology. It is my passion to not only find out but to develop tools to break down barriers of accessibility for future generation. In truth I could not have achieved my current level of success without a strong support group. First of all my parents who supported me with love and understanding? And secondly my committee members each of whom has provided patient advice and guidance throughout the research process. Thank you all for your unwavering support. Pharmacology is the branch of science focused on health. There are two main approaches to health science the study and research of the body and health-related issues to understand how humans (and animals) function and the application of that knowledge to improve health and to prevent and cure diseases and other physical and mental impairments. The science builds on many sub-fields including biology biochemistry physics epidemiology pharmacology medical sociology. Applied health sciences endeavor to better understand and improve human health through applications in areas such as health education biomedical engineering biotechnology and public health. Organized interventions to improve health based on the principles and procedures developed through the health sciences are provided by practitioners trained in medicine nursing nutrition pharmacy social work psychology occupational therapy physical therapy and other health care professions. Clinical practitioners focus mainly on the health of individuals while public health practitioners consider the overall health of communities and populations.
