Ø Lachman chapter 1 to 7 are important. Chapter 8, 11 22 are to be done from this book. Tables on page number are important 27, 37,44,98, 151,165,174,321,357
(only ingredients),416 (onlyingredients),419,434,453,463,467,508,514,515518,521,522,

Ø Martin if you read Subramanyam whole, then do chapter 1, and last 2 chapters (biomaterials and delivery systems from it.)
Ø Brahmankar whole book, read units of various parameters. CDDS. Remember various release models.
Ø Cosmetics - remember only general things from B. M. Mitthal.

Ø Cooper-gun read method for sterilization of various injections given at the end of
book.Containers, surgical instruments and sterilization at least see if u get time.
