|  About The Book   
Pharmacy Council of India has introduced uniform B.Pharm syllabus throughout the country and the nomenclature Physical Pharmaceutics-II pertains to Semester IV (vide no. 6,7 & 8 of the Bachelor of Pharmacy course regulations 2014) throughout India. The present title is new edition of continuation of earlier title Textbook of Physical Pharmaceutics.
 The physicochemical principles are strengthened for drug and excipients, giving relevance to the formulations. Thus, a mechanistic approach is stressed. This book imparts knowledge for selecting the right kind of substance for the manufacturing of medicinal products.
 
 Considering relevance with examinations, emphasis is laid on the following:-
 1. 	Application of principles
 2. 	A number of illustrations on the lines of concept mapping
 3. 	Comment type questions with answers and reasoning type of questions.
 4. 	MCQs, key and Question Bank
