This textbook, “Pharmaceutics-I,” has been developed to cater to the academic needs of B. Pharma First Semester students, strictly following the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) syllabus. The book provides a clear and systematic understanding of basic pharmaceutical concepts, enabling students to grasp the essential principles required for dosage form development and drug delivery.
