PHYSICAL PHARMACY
Basic physical pharmacy begins with the (blank) of drugs in solutions
recognition of the chemical properties
Basic physical pharmacy begins with the recognition of the chemical properties of drugs in solutions because in solution, a drug exists in the very form in which it exerts its
pharmacological effect.
