Appleton & Lange - Pharmaceutical Calculation

Descrição

While the number of prescriptions requiring compounding has diminished during the past decade, the importance of pharmaceutical calculations has not declined. There is a continued necessity to compound some prescriptions and medical orders, especially for pharmacists preparing parenteral admixtures in both institutional and community settings. In addition, competence in mathematics is essential in order to comprehend the scientific literature.
