Edited by Raymond C Rowe - Chief Scientist, Intelligensys Ltd, UK Paul J Sheskey - Technical Services Leader, The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI, USA Sian C Owen - Development Editor, Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, London, UK

The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is an internationally acclaimed reference work, recognized as one of the most authorative and comprehensive sources of information on excipients used in pharmaceutical formulations.

Jointly published by the American Pharmacists Association and the Pharmaceutical Press (the publications arm of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain), it is written by over 120 pharmaceutical scientists from around the world, expert in the manufacture, analysis or use of pharmaceutical excipients. It now contains 300 fully referenced excipient monographis, so provides an essential reference for those involved in the development, production, control or regulation of pharmaceutical preparations.
50 monographs are completely new to this edition, including Agar, Boric acid, Erythritol, Inulin and Lauric acid. The other 250 monographs have been updated and revised completely for this edition. All monographs in the Handbook are thoroughly cross-referenced and indexed so that excipients may be identified by either chemical, non-proprietary or trade names.


One of the many reviews of the previous edition (also edited by Ray Rowe) states "There is absolutely no doubt that the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients has become an indispensible volume on the shelf of every pharmaceutical library in existence and it needs to be on the personal bookshelf of just about every formulator I know".
