Under Filter by, you may select check boxes to apply multiple filters and refine your formulation results:

The available filters and their options are determined by the result set, which changes dynamically as filters are applied or removed.

For example, with no Purpose filter selected, there are 455 formulations results with the Document Type of Journal. With the Purpose filter of Drug delivery systems selected, the number of results with the Journal document type has narrowed to 41 and the Product Insert option under Document Type no longer displays since there are no formulations with Document Type: General Review and Purpose: Drug delivery systems.
