Conclusions
Pharmaceutical formulation has a long historical
background 18 The ancient oxymel is still used in current
medicine. By reviewing medieval Persian pharma-ceutical
and medical text books we can conclude that the first
formulation of oxymel originated from ancient Persian
pharmaceutical knowledge, The variety of its formulations
and different clinical applications from the medieval era in
Persia indicate the continuity of its usage. It is a part of the
history of pharmacy and shows how pharmaceutical dosage
forms developed in the medieval era.
