- Synopsis
- Pharmaceutical formulation design affects patient acceptability/adherence and pharmacokinetics of the drug. This is particularly important for older patients because of the physiological changes due to ageing and clinical/social circumstances related to medicine taking.This book provides a comprehensive review in the design of formulations to meet the needs of older patients. An overview of the key clinical, social and pharmaceutical factors affecting medication optimization, safety and acceptability in older adults is included, followed by patient-centric considerations including regulatory requirements, dosage form design and human factor studies.Advanced pharmaceutical technologies are discussed for their potential use in older adults such as 3D printing, long-acting oral formulations and novel vaccine technologies. The unique focus of the book will be of interest to pharmaceutical scientists in both industry and academia in searching for better formulations for older patients.
