Early pharmacies


Practitioners of the art of healing, which currently receive the designation of physicians, used to prepare the drugs they had prescribed. To avoid excesses, the manufacture and sale of drugs began to be practiced by pharmacists.


Os profissionais da arte de curar que actualmente recebem a designação de médicos preparavam os remédios que receitavam. Para evitar excessos, o fabrico e venda de medicamentos passou a ser praticado por farmacêuticos.
