Pharmaceutical manufacturing entails the combination of a number of unit processes. The major processes are described in this text. The efficiency, quality, and economy of manufacturing depend on an understanding of the individual operations involved in processing. In many cases—unlike in other types of industrial processing—safety and efficacy of a therapeutic agent may be affected. This text constitutes a guide or introduction to the practical aspects of unit operations in pharmacy.
