Delivering the active medicament to the body system for a certain therapeutic action is the central idea of Pharmaceutical technology. A Pharmaceutical drug is delivered through various routes of administration with the help of various kinds of dosage forms. Moreover a drug product should be effective, safe and stable. All the aspects of pharmaceutical texts, dealing with drug delivery basically target these three issues.

The book covers: Basics of dissolution study, bioavailability and stability studies (and ICH guidelines) in detail with recent guidelines. Most common and popular dosage forms viz. tablet, capsule, parenterals, suspension and emulsion have been discussed. Other topics discussed include controlled release products, oral protein delivery etc. USPs of the book are easy language, to the point coverage of topics, pictorial/graphical and tabular presentation.
