Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides a wide-ranging overview of organic chemistry as applied to the study and practice of pharmacy. Drugs are simply chemicals, so to fully understand their manufacture, formulation, and the way they work in our bodies, a knowledge of organic compounds and their reactions is essential.
- Supports integrated pharmacy education, so that students are learning in a professionally relevant context from day one
- Focuses on the fundamental ideas that first year students need to fully grasp before progressing with more advanced study
- Material clearly demonstrates connections between scientific concepts and principles and how they are applied to pharmacy
- Written by subject experts and edited by academics with a wealth of teaching experience
- Available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources.
