The prescription book was the mandatory legal register in which the pharmacist had to transcribe, day after day and without blanks or deletions (in theory), all magistral preparations and medicines containing dangerous substances.
The last volume in this series, bringing more than a quarter of a century of archives to a close.
It is clear that this time, the profession has really changed. The pharmacy is becoming a modern health centre.
Magistral preparations are becoming rare, replaced by synthetic medicines.
However, the prescription book remains an essential legal tool for controlling poisonous substances.
Each line had to include the name of the doctor, the name of the patient, the date and the exact composition of the preparation. This was because, in the event of poisoning or suspected addiction of a patient, the police or pharmacy inspectors would come to check the prescription book to see who had prescribed what. Poisonous substances are still written in red.
The first pages are authenticated by period revenue stamps and the initials of the Police Commissioner, and all pages were stamped and could not be torn out.
