About the Book

This is an essential resource for all those involved in the formulation, development, manufacture and testing of suppositories.The administration of drugs using a suppository base formulation is particularly useful in paediatrics, debilitated patients and 'non-oral' patients. Depending on the excipient used, it is possible to control the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, thus offering some advantages in specific drug regimens over other dosage forms.Many suppository formulations have been developed for a number of therapeutic aims, however comprehensive reliable information on suppository formulation is not always readily available. "Suppositories" resolves this situation by providing up-to-date, comprehensive information in one point of reference."

Review :
'This comprehensive volume on suppositories is well written and easily understood. The introduction and history chapters are pleasant reads for even the casual consumer. It will be my single resource to answer any question regarding suppositories.' Robert B Greenwood RPh PhD, Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Journal of Pharmacy Technology Volume 24, July/August 2008 'This comprehensive overview of pharmaceutical suppositories contains formulations and techniques that are valuable to compounding pharmacists. Designed as a reference in the area of suppository formulation, the book contains tables of excipient characteristics and of bioavailability information, excellent resources for formulation scientists.'
