It gives us immense pleasure to present to pharmacy students our book entitled “Pharmaceutics-I”.

Pharmaceutics plays a vital role in formulation development and evaluation of various dosage forms. This book will mainly guide students to get knowledge about origin and scope of pharmacy, various pharmacopoeias, prescription and drug incompatibilities, conventional dosage forms, pharmaceutical calculation and basics of Pharmaceutics. All the contents are discussed in detail and suitable examples are explained whenever required. This book is highly useful for understanding of principle(s) and methods involved in formulation of various dosage forms in a simplest way.

We will be grateful all the teachers and students who will be kind enough to point out our mistakes that have escaped our attention. Suggestions for future improvement are always welcome.
