at the time of Hippocrates eyank, there was no such thing as the Pharmacy profession.

At that time, a
"doctor" concurrently became a "pharmacist" working to diagnose and prepare drugs. The
development of health sciences, the problem of providing drugs is getting more complicated, both the
formulation and the way of making it, so that it needs a special and separate expertise. In 1240
AD, German King Frederick II ordered an official separation between Pharmacy and Medicine in his
famous "Two Silices" edict. From this history, one thing that needs to be underlined is that the roots of
pharmacy and medical science are the same, so it is hoped that this science can work together to
achieve the maximum therapeutic effect for patients. Pharmacy is derived from the word pharma
(pharma) English language: pharmacy Greek: pharmacon, which means: medicine 1. Paracelsus (1541-
1493 BC) argues that in order to make a drug preparation it is necessary to know the content of the
active substance and he makes the drug from an ingredient that is already known to be active 2.
Hippocrates (459-370 BC), known as the "father of medicine" in his medical practice, has used more than
200 species of plants. 3. Claudius Galen (200-129 BC) links the healing of diseases with the working
theory of medicine which is a field of pharmacology. 4. Ibn Sina (980-1037) has written several books on
methods of collecting and storing medicinal plants and how to make medicinal preparations such as pills,
suppositories, syrups and combining medical knowledge from various countries namely Greece, India,
Persia, and Arabic to produce treatments better. 5. Johann Jakob Wepfer (1620-1695) succeeded in
verifying the pharmacological and toxicological effects of drugs in experimental animals, he said: "I
pondered at length, finally I resolved to clarify the matter by experiment". He was the first to conduct
pharmacological and toxicological research in experimental animals. Animal testing is a preclinical test
which until now has been a requirement before the drug is clinically tested in humans. 6. The first
Pharmacology Institute was founded in 1847 by Rudolf Buchheim (1820-1879) at the University of
Dorpat (Estonia). Furthermore Oswald Schiedeberg (1838-1921) together with other scientific experts
produced fundamental concepts in the work of drugs including drug receptors, the relationship of
structure to activity and selective toxicity. The concept was also reinforced by T. Frazer (1852-1921) in
Scotland, J. Langley (1852-1925) in England and P. Ehrlich (1854-1915) in Germany.
