Hahnemann, in $264 of his Organon of Medicine says, “The true physician must be provided with genuine medicines of unimpaired strength, so that he may be able to rely upon their therapeutic powers.” But, how can we ascertain this genuineness of our medicines? Where can we do that? For that, we have to go back to where our medicines are made, i.e., in a Pharmaceutical Laboratory. Thus, assuring the genuineness of our medicines, or rather our weapons is to be studied under Pharmacy. Thus, in this course, we will deal with the basic concepts related to Pharmacy, beginning with the History of Pharmacy, how it developed over time and it’s status today, all over the world.
