If recorded History is to be believed then the Muslims of the Middle East were the first Pharmacists in the world. Muslim Physicians developed the art of Pharmocology with the help of botany and Chemistry. Interesting experiments were conducted in those days with rare plants and their extracts to invent the most amazing life saving medicines.
Consolidating the efforts of inventing medicines however, has been a recent event. With market economy ruling the world, medicine production and distributions gradually developed into an altogether different field. Today a Pharmaceutical company is a commercial hub whose main action revolves around research development, and distribution of drugs and other health care products. The History of Pharmaceutical Company dates back to the earlier part of the 19 th Century. During the early years Switzerland, Germany and Italy were considered to be the hub of most of the Pharmaceutical companies in the world. The invention of life saving drugs like Penicillin and Insulin gave the growth of Pharmaceutical Companies the much needed boost. Newer kinds of legislations and laws came up in almost all the countries across the globe to legalize the attempt of providing better health care by the Pharmaceutical Companies.
The History of Pharmaceutical Science also takes into account the understanding of human biology and scientific approaches to study the human beings. Many governments today offer special rewards to the companies who are willing to conduct such voluntary health projects and market surveys. According to the History of Pharmacology with the maturing of Pharmaceutical Companies the distinction between prescribed drugs and non prescribed drugs became more common. Today it is a norm every where that no Pharmaceutical company or shop should sell or encourage in the selling of those products which can have an adverse effect on a normal person who is not infected with the respective disease. According to the History of Pharmaceutical Studies, the 1950s and the I960s were the decades which saw tremendous growth in the mass production of a whole lot of medicines. None of them , however, were as popular as the oral contraceptive pill for the women. This method of contraception not only received tremendous support from the Feminist organizations but also from the prostitute quarters spread all across the world. Even today, such oral contraceptive pills are distributed free of coast in many parts of the world. The History of Pharmaceutical Science also takes into account the the invention and distribution of medicines meant for curing life style diseases like Asthma, Obesity, Cardiac problems, Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.
