Based on the results of the analysis of literary sources on the history of medicine and pharmacy, issues of the standardization and regulation of prescription of medicinal products have always been given special importance in various societies and cultures.

The significant contribution of domestic scientists is reflected, thanks to which the domestic pharmacopoeia not only did not yield to foreign counterparts but in some cases even surpassed them, contributing to the development of the countrys healthcare. The role of the staff of the Imperial MedicalSurgical (Military Medical) Academy, who actively participated in the development of various editions of the national state pharmacopoeia during the XIXXXI centuries, is emphasized.</p>pharmacypharmacopoeiamedicinespharmacyantidotemonographdosage formфармацияфармакопеялекарственные средствааптекаантидотарийфармакопейная статьялекарственная форма[Blinov GM, Garibova TM.
