A Practical Book Of Pharmaceutics-I

It gives me immense pleasure to present to pharmacy students my book entitled “A Practical Book
of Pharmaceutics-I”. Writing a book is inspiring, often exciting, and sometimes very challenging
work.
Pharmaceutics practical involve the practical application of scientific principles to the formulation
and development of pharmaceutical products. These practical sessions typically include various
aspects such as drug formulation, dosage form design, and manufacturing techniques. Students learn
to handle equipment, perform experiments, and gain hands-on experience in pharmaceutical
processes. Key components may include compounding, granulation, tablet pressing, and quality
control methods. Proficiency in basic techniques like accurate measurements, proper handling of
equipment, and adherence to good laboratory practices is fundamental, laying the groundwork for
more advanced studies in pharmaceutics. Without a strong foundation in these practical skills,
progressing to advanced pharmaceutical development becomes challenging and resource-intensive.
The book contains calculations and important questions related to the experiments to fulfill the
requirements of students.
I record my sincere thanks to Dr. Navneet Verma, Dr. Arun Kumar Mishra, Dr. Sushil Kumar, Dr.
Munish Mani, Dr. Shweta Verma, and all my coauthors for constant encouragement to write this
book.
I thank my parents for their constant support to review the content of this book and moral support. I
am thankful to my seniors, friends and students who gave me suggestions whenever I asked for
betterment of this book.
I appreciate the cooperation and interest taken by Publishers JEC Publication in bringing out this
book.
I will be grateful to all the teachers and students who will be kind enough to point out my mistakes
that have escaped my attention. Suggestions for future improvement are always welcome.
