Book Review:

Description: This is an introductory text on Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics. This fifth edition is full of updates and revisions.

Purpose: The aim is to provide the reader with a fundamental basis for the principles of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.

Audience: Although written primarily for students in pharmacy, the book will be useful for both graduate students and researchers.

Features: This book deals with the fundamentals of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. The authors include many useful practical problems and examples to reinforce important concepts. Particularly interesting to pharmacy students are the clinical examples in each chapter. This main aspect will help students envision how to integrate this content into real clinical pharmacy practice. This new edition includes a new chapter on the emerging pharmacogenetics field, updated dosing information for a range of clinical situations, and the impact of biopharmaceutics on drug quality and clinical efficacy.

Assessment: The updated edition gives a solid foundation to the reader in the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. Students should be able to adapt the knowledge to their professional experience and that will be a helpful resource for the researchers. The modestly priced book will be the student's gold standard.
