The pharmaceutics information service is provided by the Society's fellow in pharmaceutics. It is a problem-solving and advisory service on matters that relate to pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical technology and the practical aspects of pharmacy.

Areas of expertise include the application of physical, chemical and biological sciences to the formulation, design, stability, preparation and presentation of dosage forms. Also handled are enquiries about pharmaceutical packaging, especially child-resistant packaging.

The infomation service is available to non-members, who are required to pay an appropriate fee for detailed advice.
