4 out of 5 stars pharmaceutics   September 28, 2008
not very helpful in explaining how to do the problems..the book's examples are so much easier than the practice problems at the end of the chapters..quite a few typos as well..recommended if you have good lecture notes and want to be challenged by the problems..the subject itself however is not that difficult


5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   September 23, 2008
Excellent shipping and delivery service. I did not expect it to come this early. The product is new and in the same condition as described.


5 out of 5 stars Nice for BASIC calculations for the retail and hospital pharmacist   March 29, 2008

I have worked in a retail pharmacy and a hospital pharmacy. I believe this book covers the basics behind the calculations performed for both environments. Students should receive more training on calculations as they progress through pharmacy school, of course, but this book is a great way to get started. If you are the student who plans to go into research and production, yes, you may need additional training.

There is a difference between 11th and 12th edition. The 12th edition is missing some of the lessons that were included in the 11th edition. This doesn't necessarily mean you need to go out and buy the 11th edition instead of the 12th edition. Errors in the 11th edition may be fixed in the 12th edition. My particular pharmaceutical calculations course used the 12th edition.

I have already decided that this book will be one of those books I keep on my shelf when I finally graduate and become a pharmacist.

Subject matter is more elementary than Amiji, but there are fewer errors. Buy it if you need it for a course, the problem sets are great practice. Indispensable until a better book comes out.

This was a recommended text for my Intro to Pharmaceutics, Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics course. So far, I do not find it very helpful in giving additional practice problems. If this is a recommended text for you, I'd keep looking... though I don't have any suggestions for alternatives.
