Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy

Rating:
Summary: No longer a good reference book for compounders
Review: Although this book is not a book for your reading pleasure, you can approach it that way to. Thousands of pages of incredibly detailed and valuable information. Biotechnological and biopharmaceutical information were not as detailed and comprehensive as I wanted them to be but I understand the need to review and find some 'holding on' within the pharmacy industry before it is placed in this book. Nevertheless, a must read! A must have!

Summary: No longer a good reference book for compounders
Review: I have been familiar with this book since college and really loved it. Now I work in Compounding and can afford it, only to discover that it has very few formulations, does not have a cross index, the page numbers in the index do not match the page numbers in the book and there are very few latin names in use. In my country some physicians still prescribe in Latin or use Latin names. I am very dissapointed in the book, no longer a reference for compounders.

Review: This two volume set has come in handy many times. It is a great aide in formulating products and explaining testing procedures along with a detailed description of each drug with a chemical formula. I only wish that they would make an updated version.
