New edition of Aulton's Pharmaceutics now available

Kevin Taylor, Professor of Clinical Pharmaceutics, has co-edited the recently published new edition of Aulton’s Pharmaceutics, the preeminent pharmaceutics textbook for pharmacy students.

For the first three editions, Prof Mike Aulton (Emeritus Professor, De Montfort University and Fellow of the School of Pharmacy) was sole editor of this textbook, which is widely known as “Aulton”. Since the fourth edition, Kevin has worked with Mike as a co-editor, helping to extend the scope and content of the text.

The philosophy of this sixth edition is unchanged from earlier editions; the book comprehensively covers all aspects of pharmaceutics and is intentionally structured and written for newcomers to the formulation and manufacture of medicines, particularly pharmacy undergraduates. The content has been extensively revised and updated, and many new subjects introduced, because pharmaceutics continually changes, particularly in the ways that drug products are designed, manufactured and delivered to patients. New chapters for this edition include topical formulations, otic (aural) drug delivery, radiopharmaceuticals, continuous manufacturing processes and pharmaceutical regulation. The new edition is the first to be published in full colour: so prepare to be dazzled!

Contributors to this new edition include many current and former School of Pharmacy people including: Susan Barker, Abdul Basit, Steve Brocchini, Graham Buckton, Soraya Dhillon, Hala Fadda, Christina Freire, Simon Gaisford, Francesca Gavins, Neil Hartman, Majella Lane, Christine Madla, Emma McConnell, Sudax Murdan, Mine Orlu, Somavarapu Satyanarayana, Andreas Schatzlein, Khalid Sheikh, Catherine Tuleu, Ijeoma Uchegbu and Gareth Williams.
