Preface

General Pharmacy is a core subject that forms the foundation of pharmaceutical sciences by introducing students to the basic principles involved in the preparation, dispensing, and evaluation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. A clear understanding of this subject is essential for pharmacy students to develop professional competence and practical skills required in pharmacy practice.

This book has been prepared to meet the academic requirements of undergraduate pharmacy students as per the current syllabus prescribed by pharmacy councils and universities. The subject matter has been presented in a simple, systematic, and student-friendly manner to facilitate easy comprehension of fundamental concepts. Important topics such as pharmaceutical calculations, dosage forms, packaging, labeling, and dispensing practices are covered with due emphasis on both theoretical and practical aspects.

Each chapter is structured logically with clear explanations to strengthen conceptual understanding and promote effective learning. The content reflects the combined teaching and professional experience of the authors and aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world pharmaceutical applications.

The authors hope that this book will serve as a valuable learning resource for students and teachers alike. Constructive suggestions for improvement will be gratefully acknowledged.
