Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on Prescription Incompatibilities and Difficulties Including Prescription Oddities and Curiosities, for Pharmacists and Physicians and Students, in Pharmacy and Medicine Frankness demands the statement that the subject of Prescription Incompatibilities is of considerably less importance now than it was twenty or thirty years ago. It was a rare day then when an editor of a pharmaceutical journal or one who was considered an expert in solving incompatible riddles did not receive orally or in writing a despairing call for help from some sorely puzzled druggist, who in attempting to put up a prescription as written by the doctor, got an unsightly, impossible mass, a strange, unlooked-for color, or perhaps a dangerously explosive mixture. And pharmaceutical journals devoted a good deal more space than they do now answering the "incompatible" queries of their subscribers. The flood of new remedies and synthetics was then at its height and the physician still unweaned from his habit of polypharmacal prescribing insisted on joining together things which the spirits of chemistry, pharmacy and therapeutics intended should be kept asunder. The idea at that time was still pretty general that the value of a prescription increased in direct ratio to the number of its ingredients. And the result was - not infrequently - a spoiled, useless, ludicrous, or even dangerous combination. Things are different now. Our propaganda during the past twenty-five years in favor of simple rational prescriptions has borne fruit. The modern physician does not believe in shotgun prescriptions; he prescribes one, seldom more than two or three active ingredients in a prescription.
