The first steps
Features of
operation
Regulation and
standards
Most medicines were
made by hand using local
plants, minerals and
sometimes imported
ingredients
The first attempts at
standardization and
quality control of
medicines began in the
18th century
Pharmacists of that time
not only sold and mixed
medicines, but also
performed the functions
of doctors, pharmacists
and even surgeons

Difficulties
The lack of regulation and
supervision has
sometimes led to the sale
of ineffective or even
harmful products

Pharmacies in the prohibition era
Prohibition
Period
(1920-1933)
Pharmacies
as places of
sale of
alcohol
Pharmacies received a
special status because
they were allowed to sell
alcohol for "medical
purposes"
This has led to an
increase in the number
of pharmacies and an
increase in their
popularity among the
population
Ethical and
legal
dilemmas
Pharmacies
as social
centers
There were questions
about the moral and
ethical aspects of the
activities of
pharmacists who used
legal loopholes to
sell alcohol
Pharmacies began to
be perceived not only
as medical
institutions, but also
as social centers
