Now in its Third Edition, this succinct, easy-to-use, current, and very functional handbook goes through the steps of receiving the prescription, preparing it, and completing the compound. The book provides a source for contemporary practice previously found spread out over journal articles, legal documents, standards of practice, specialty books, and textbooks. Highlights of this edition include a more comprehensive section on sterile dosage forms and their preparation; expanded discussion of medication errors; processing tools for improving compounded preparations and reducing errors; a new chapter on systems of measurement and basic pharmaceutical calculations; and a new section on veterinary pharmacy practice. Patient cases with the sample compounded prescription orders and parenteral preparation medication orders show typical situations and problem-solving to meet special therapy and patient needs. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes study guides, interactive self-assessment, and multimedia demonstrations of compounding procedures for key chapters. A companion website offers the CD content as well as full text online and an image bank.

YAY! I mean, if you're going to spend your life crying into a pharmacy book, this is the one to do it into. You're not buying this for light summer reading, you're buying this because you need to read up on all the things you missed during pharmacy class when you were on pinterest or facebook or arguing with you boyfriend over text. It has the information it's supposed to in it.
Overall this is a very good book for the introduction of lab and bench techniques for pharmacy. However, it is written in an outline format which can be dry to read straight, and the examples while well detailed can cause you to overcomplicate things like calculations. Provides a great reference though while prepping or working in my lab for basic pharmaceutics.
From the basics in prescription interpretation, to aliquot calculations, to step by step instructions in how to use a torsion balance, this book covers all that a first year pharmacy student needs to know. It's a great book to keep for future reference, and it's written in outline format to make it easy jump right to the section you're looking for. Some chapters also have practice prescriptions, in which they go through the process of reading the prescription, compounding, and dispensing. All in all, I wish I had bought this book earlier!
You get everything described.A book that comes in handy when you want to know about regulations and definitions
Excellent resource! Required for a couple of my classes, and it was well worth the $$. LOTS of great information.
