By Andrew B.C. Yu, Leon Shargel, Susanna Wu-Pong

Book Overview

The landmark textbook on the theoretical and practical applications of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics--now fully updated. Explains how to detect clinical pharmacokinetic problems and apply basic pharmacokinetic principles to solve them Helps you critically evaluate biopharmaceutic studies involving drug product equivalency and unequivalency Chapters have been revised to reflect the latest clinical perspectives on drug performance, bioavailability, bioequivalence, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug therapy The field's leading text for more than three decades, Applied Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics gets you up to speed on the basics of the discipline like no other resource. Practical problems and clinical examples with discussions are integrated within each chapter to help you apply principles to patient care and drug consultation situations. In addition, outstanding pedagogy, including chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and FAQs, plus additional application questions, identify and focus on key concepts. Written by authors who have both academic and clinical experience, Applied Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics shows you how to use raw data and formulate the pharmacokinetic models and parameters that best describe the process of drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. The book also helps you work with pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutic parameters to design and evaluate dosage regimens of drugs. In the seventh edition of this must-have interactive learning tool, most of the chapters are updated to reflect our current understanding of complex issues associated with safe and efficacious drug therapy.

Customer Reviews

textbook purchase

Price was reasonable. Item was in exact condition as described. Transaction was smooth and item was shipped within a reasonable time. I would gladly do business with this seller again.

It's ok

This isn't the best book there is, but it is a good book. Yes, there are a few typos, but they aren't that bad. All I need to learn is this book.

Fast service and Great quality!!

I needed this book for a class that I was taking over the fall semester. It was in perfect condition, and it was shipped very quickly (which was good because I ordered it after the class started). Thank you!

Great Condition and Timely Delivery

The book was sent in excellent condition and it was received quickly. It has no highlights or ripped pages. The seller was honest about the quality of the book and easy to communicate with.

Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics

This book is fantastic! It is the fourth edition of the popular textbook on biopharmaceutics. The authors have maintained the excellent standards of previous editions, by clearly explaining the concepts while keeping mathematical derivations to a minimum. The "practical focus" sections show the application of pharmacokinetics in a clinical setting. A new chapter on targeted drug delivery and newer biotech drugs is very timely and relevant. Overall, this is an excellent book on biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. It is recommended not only for the newcomer, but serves as a valuable reference in any library.
