Pharmacopoeia The Complete Medical Guide

by Daniel_Millions

With the ever increasing number of medicinal compounds, chemicals
and drugs it is necessary to have a centralized source of
information by which any researcher or doctor can investigate the
treatments he may wish to make for a patient. Unlike a manual
that only lists the types of pills or tablets available, the
Pharmacopoeia attempts to be the comprehensive collection of all
things used to treat disease and illness.

In modern times this pharmacopoeia will be regulated and
published by a government-regulating agency. In this "book of
books" will be listings to aid in the identification of
substances and the means of preparation by which the compounds
can be prepared and used.

Before the sixteenth century most physicians and pharmacists
used the old notes and treatises put out by apothecaries. There
was no central authority or standardized method of testing to see
if the treatments listed were in fact even effective. There was
always the problem of myth and superstition being inserted in
place of proven medical research.

With most medicines at the time having herbal origins, there was
increased the danger of variations in soil, growing conditions,
preservation and preparation. Under this non-system of hit and
miss medical information, even useful and effective compounds
could be misused or improperly administered, leading to worse
results than if the disease had been left to run its course.

For the next hundred and fifty years, European pharmacopoeia
began the slow process of researching and compiling more complete
lists of drugs and preparations with the aim of eliminating some
of the more bizarre and questionable practices. By the mid
eighteenth century the London Pharmacopoeia had evolved to
contain just the drugs and treatments that were held by the
majority of physicians as effective.

Many of the medical formulas were simplified and the lists of
extraneous ingredients that had no real import on the
effectiveness of medicines was added as items to be avoided.
While some old medical practices were removed, there were other
drugs, formerly considered too dangerous or unstable, added or
reintroduced.

By the late nineteenth century the pharmacopoeia took its last
major step to improving the overall effectiveness of medical
knowledge. Previously the compilers of these volumes did not in
fact practice pharmacology and it was felt that while they were
able to decide what was required but lacked knowledge of how to
do the actual manufacturing process of the compounds. It was here
that the work was divided into separate parts, one discussing the
uses and effects of the medical compounds and the other dealing
only with the construction of the drugs.

Trade synonyms for certain compounds cause problems that need to
be overcome. The inclusion of substances that have uses other
than just medical applications have lead to confusion as to what
level of purity or production method will yield a medically
acceptable form of a compound. Some of these compounds, in a
slightly different form, might be used for some purpose like
cleaning a floor and could be deadly if included in the
preparation of a medicine.

In the modern age new developments in medicines and treatments
are being brought out too quickly for the pharmacopoeia to ever
be completely up-to-date. As it may sometimes take several years
to get a new treatment listed in the book of books, it is
necessary to have frequent supplemental updates issued to cover
the latest developments in medical knowledge.
