"Written by experienced pharmacists working in hospitals and academia throughout Europe, Practical Pharmaceutics is complete with practical examples and information on current European Union legislation. ... This book is an essential must-have for all medicine preparation and quality control laboratories. All pharmacists should know it exists and what information it contains." (J. W. Foppe van Mil, International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, Vol. 38, June, 2016)

"Basic knowledge merges with practical examples ... . Students and pharmacists working in the preparation of medicines therefore are addressed equally. But the clinically active pharmacist also requires product knowledge for answering questions about the selection or customizing of medicines and will gladly use this book ... ." (Translated from German, Sylvia Obermeier, Krankenhauspharmazie, Vol. 37 (7), 2016)


"It's only a matter of time before Practical Pharmaceutics ... will become an integral part of the university and pharmaceutical libraries. In the Czech environment, this comprehensive textbook has long lacked." (Translated from Czech, Czech Tribuna Lékaru, May, 2016)

"The text is clear and concise and it favours practical purposes. The work has the merit of allowing the sharing and experience of local pharmacists and European hospitals in order to provide common cultural basis to those who operate in this sector." (Translated from Italian, Francesca Selmin Ph. D., Sifap - Societa Italiana Farmacisti Preparatori, FarmaciaVirtuale.it, February, 2016)
