[Medicinal preparations in this country at the end of the 18th century part II--semisolid and solid dosage forms]

Abstract

This paper links up with Part I and deals with the other medicinal preparations, which were originally included in the Austrian book of prescriptions Dispensatorium pharmaceuticum Viennense and then taken over to the Austrian provincial pharmacopoeia Pharmacopoea austriaco-provincialis, repeatedly published between 1774 and 1794. This part discusses semisolid dosage forms, e.g. Electuaria, Mella, Pulpae, Unguenta, and solid dosage forms, e.g. Emplastra, Extracta, Morsulae, Pilulae, Pulveres, Rotulae, Tabulae, Trochisci. The final part of the paper also lists chemical substances (Chymica et consimilia) prepared in pharmacies and presents general evaluation of the provincial Pharmacopoeia.
