traditional term to name all products or substances prepared in a pharmacy. Many vegetal species are qualified as officinal since they were used in pharmacies to prepare medicines, in opposition to those species that were given other use (culinary, industrial). See also “pharmacological,” “pharmaceutic,” “galenic.”
