The first two chapters make up one-half of the text and cover the selection and formulation of dosage forms. The remaining half of the text is dedicated to specific areas such as administration devices and design development issues. Also included in the second half of the book is discussion of the various scientific trials that lead to the development of new animal drugs. Each chapter includes extremely useful diagrams, tables, and extensive references.
