The history of pharmacy is a long and fascinating journey, intertwined with the evolution of medicine itself. Here's a glimpse into its development:
Ancient Roots:
Early Civilizations (2000 BC onwards): Evidence suggests Sumerians, Egyptians, and Chinese all had traditions of using plants, minerals, and animal products for medicinal purposes. These early healers documented their knowledge in clay tablets and scrolls.
The Rise of Pharmacy as a Distinct Practice:
Greco-Roman Era (5th century BC - 5th century AD): Greek scholars like Hippocrates emphasized a more scientific approach to medicine, while Roman figures like Dioscorides wrote influential texts on herbal remedies. This period saw the establishment of some of the first shops dedicated to selling medications.
Islamic Golden Age (8th - 13th centuries AD): The Islamic world made significant contributions to pharmacy. Pharmacists, called apothecaries, were required to have qualifications and follow specific ethical guidelines. Baghdad saw the opening of the first state-regulated pharmacies in the 8th century.
Medieval and Renaissance Europe:
Monasteries (Middle Ages): Monasteries became centers for preserving and developing medicinal knowledge. Monks cultivated medicinal herbs and produced remedies.
The Rise of Guilds (12th - 18th centuries): Apothecaries formed guilds to regulate the practice and ensure the quality of medications.
The Modern Era (19th century onwards):
Standardization and Scientific Advancements: The 19th century saw a surge in scientific discoveries and the development of new, standardized medications. Pharmacopeias, official lists of drugs with quality standards, were established.
Separation of Pharmacy from Medicine: Pharmacy became a distinct profession with its own educational requirements. The invention of new technologies like tablets and capsules revolutionized drug delivery.
The 20th and 21st Centuries:
Growth of the Pharmaceutical Industry: The 20th century saw the rise of large pharmaceutical companies that mass-produced new drugs based on scientific research.
Expanding Roles of Pharmacists: Pharmacists today play a crucial role in patient care, not just dispensing medications but also advising on their use, monitoring for side effects, and providing drug information.
Pharmacopoeia is the official book of standards for drugs prepared by any country or regulatory body to specify the standards of identity, purity and strength for the drugs imported, manufactured or distributed throughout the country or a specific region.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

5. Hippocrates- Father of Medicine
(466-377 BC)
•Systematized the knowledge available and linked it
with ethics
•His knowledge were then accepted worldwide & still
utilized by health professionals.
•He developed an Oath of Medical Ethics for physicians
to follow.
•Hippocrates is known as the "Father of Medicine".
6. Aristotle (384/3 B.C.-322/1 B.C.)
• He not only contributed enormously to medicine per se, but also to the natural sciences,
for he was the first to classify animals
• It seems that he sustained the notion that certain "inferior" animals such as insects
(whose name derived from the evident segmentation of the body into its components)
came into the world spontaneously from decomposing material regenerating and so their
growth could not be limited or restrained.
• Aristotle elaborated a physiological system centred on the heart, in which according to
him, there burned a life-giving vital flame maintained by a spirit named pneuma or spirito
vitale (vital spirit) that produced heat. He felt that the lungs and the brain had a primary
function of cooling. The heart was the most important organ because when the heart
stopped, the body died.
• Furthermore, in his studies of embryology.
• In his theory, heat was the most important thing and gave life. He sustained that man,
having a great deal of heat, managed to use all his body's resources and to produce
sperm. On the other hand, women did not have enough heat so a part of the body's
blood was eliminated during menstruation. With its heat, sperm acted on menstruation,
producing the embryo.
7. Dioscorides - A Scientist Looks At Drugs
(040-80 BC)
•Greek physician linked botany to this field & wrote
materia medica, which included various drugs of
vegetable origin.
•He described various naturally occurring drugs &
provided the basic information regarding its
identification, cultivation, collection & storage.
8. Galen - Experimenter In Drug Compounding
(131-200 AD)
Of the men of ancient times whose names are known and
revered among both the professions of Pharmacy and
Medicine, Galen, undoubtedly, is the foremost.
Galen (130-200 A.D.) practiced and taught both Pharmacy
and Medicine in Rome;
His principles of preparing and compounding medicines
ruled in the Western world for 1,500 years; and his name
still is associated with that class of pharmaceuticals
compounded by mechanical means - galenicals.
He was the originator of the formula for a cold cream,
essentially similar to that known today.
Many procedures Galen originated have their counterparts
in today's modern compounding laboratories.
10. Charak Samhita
• Charak Samhita is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda.
• It highlights the BALANCING — HOLDING TOGETHER, NOURISHING,
and SUPPORTING — quality involved in structuring Rk Veda.
• With reference to consciousness, Charak Samhita comprises the
specific sets of laws of Nature that are engaged in promoting the
quality of Rishi — the observer, the witnessing quality — within the
Samhita level of consciousness, providing a structure to the eternally
silent, self-referral, self-sufficient, fully awake state of
consciousness, which is intimately personal to everyone.
11. Origin, history & development of pharmacy
contd.
•Each government made some rules & the standards
to maintain the uniformity & to control the
standards of drugs & devices available in market.
•Each country has its own book of standards which
includes the list of the drugs along with related
substances with their complete protocol.
•These books are known as Pharmacopoeia
