Physiological Pharmaceutics in Drug Formulation and Design Biological Barriers to Drug Absorption - Ellis Horwood Series in Pharmaceutical Technology.

Physiological Pharmaceutics presents, in a clear and concise manner, the information currently available on the physiological processes which are especially relevant to the field of drug delivery. A full examination of the barriers to drug absorption, including a review of current knowledge on the transport of molecules of therapeutic interest is given. The authors are acknowledged experts in this interdisciplinary field and they bring together the relevant anatomy and physiology of the environment to which the dosage form will be presented. Results from gamma scintigraphy studies are included providing a summary of ten years of work with this technique undertaken by the renowned Nottingham team.
