Pharmacists are required to make certain kinds of calculations that determine the quantities of materials required for filling prescriptions and making up formulas. The new and expanded topics introduced in the fourth edition teach pharmacists and pharmacy students how to do the calculations required in current practice, covering important areas such as handling injectibles, including those used in parenteral nutrition and radiopharmaceuticals. The book also includes new chapters on isotonicity, intravenous fluids, and nutritional calculations. Features: * New concepts introduced in sequence, encouraging the student to master each concept before moving ahead * Many examples and practice problems, all with answers and the availability of rapid feedback build confidence * Filled with practical instruction relevant to the problems pharmacist face in their practice
The delivery took a couple days longer than expected but arrived well in time for me to use it. Book was in perfect condition as described.
Good overall review of pharmacy calculations

This is a recommended textbook where I work. I like the fact that it teaches concepts vastly differently from the required textbook that I teach out of....Thus, students who are unable to understand one way may be able to understand after using this text. I also like that students can write and practice problems directly in this book.
I like it

the book explains all the problems. THe answers are right after each set of porblems, not at the end. It is clear.
