The book presents descriptions that break down each pharmaceutical product by pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical applications, toxicities, and dosage guidelines. It also reviews prescription products, discussing clinical uses and trials, adverse reactions, and more. Tables, figures, and extensive references add to each comprehensive summary.The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology also includes up-to-date information on:
- monoclonal antibodies (Abciximab, Muromonab-CD3)
- enzymes and regulators of enzyme activity (Alteplase, clotting factors, Dornase alpha)
- anticytokines
- olgonucleotide and gene therapy
