Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 23rd Edition is the definitive textbook for the education, training, and professional development of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists globally. First published in 1885 by Joseph P. Remington, this iconic resource has served as the "Bible of Pharmacy" for over 135 years.
In the world of pharmaceutical sciences, few texts carry the weight and authority of Remington. For over a century, it has served as the definitive encyclopedia for pharmacists, chemists, and students. While the field has evolved from mortar-and-pestle compounding to complex biopharmaceutics, Remington has remained the constant backbone of pharmaceutical education. The 23rd edition, published in 2013, represents a pivotal modernization of this classic text, bridging the gap between traditional pharmacy practice and the modern era of patient-centered care.
The 23rd edition arrived at a critical juncture in healthcare. The role of the pharmacist was shifting from a focus on the drug product to a focus on the patient. Consequently, this edition was restructured to reflect the dual nature of the profession: the hard science of how drugs work and the practical application of how they are delivered to patients.
