5.0 out of 5 stars
valuable reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pharmaceutical Calculations (Hardcover)
I used an earlier edition of this book 15 years ago in pharmacy school. This is the only text book that I'm glad I kept. It covers the basics from metric/apothecary conversions to calculation of isotonicity for eye drops. This text is well organized with plenty of examples and problems with answer key. I use this book as the basis of my calculation portion of my pharmacy technician training program and nursing math refresher. If you keep only one book from pharmacy school, keep this one.
