[The pharmacy in Portugal (1772-1836)].
In 1772 the University of Coïmbra suffered one of the most important changes of its history. The pharmaceutical studies' system that began in 1772 was in force until 1836. Among others were founded the Pharmaceutical Dispensary, the School-Hospital, the Anatomical Theater, the Chemistry Laboratory, the Natural History Department, the Experimental Physics Department and the Botanical Garden. The Pharmaceutical Dispensary was the school-hospital drugstore. It was the place where medicines were produced and where took place the pharmaceutical teaching for doctors and apothecaries. The author studies the pharmacy as a science, the scientific outputs of the pharmacy teachers at the University of Coïmbra, the problematic that surrounded the publication of the first official portuguese pharmacopoeia (created by the University Statutes of 1772) and examines particulary the apothecaries course.
