Abstract

Complex phenomena in pharmaceutical chemistry may have a ­significant impact on the performance of the dosage form. Traditionally, the concern has been with bulk product performance and stability with a focus on chemical degradation, and while this remains a serious issue over the last few decades, the focus on reproducible product performance has shifted toward considerations of physical stability.
