The Evolution of Pharmaceutical Practices
from Ancient Egypt to America
(Carol's Journey Into the History of Pharmacy)


Hi! My name is Carol and I'm a pharmacy tech for Walgreens.  I graduated from pharmacy tech school just a few weeks ago. In our present time, modern convenience provides many relatively simple and expedient methods for us to receive the medicines we need for whatever ailment might befall us.  Twenty - four hour pharmacies have in place drive through windows and promised pickup times so that our desired prescriptions are quickly filled.  How did pharmacy come to be practiced as it is today?  This web project is my short story of how in a few days my boss helped me to know and appreciate the evolution of pharmaceutical practices from Ancient Egypt to America
