#pharmacy definition

• The ointment — The definite articulated form of the noun 'alifie'; a pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparation of semi-solid, unctuous consistency, made from a fatty base (such as vaseline, lanolin, or wax) in which active substances are incorporated. It is intended for topical application on the skin or mucous membranes for therapeutic, protective, or deep moisturizing purposes.
• Anthracenic — Belonging to anthracene, referring to anthracene, or structurally deriving from the core of this aromatic hydrocarbon; an organic compound, dye, or plant active principle (such as anthracene glycosides found in plants like senna or buckthorn) characterized by the presence of three linearly fused benzene rings. In a pharmacodynamic sense, it describes a class of substances with intense purgative or laxative properties, used in the formulation of standardized phytotherapeutic remedies.
• Apozem — A liquid pharmaceutical form, represented by a sweetened and highly concentrated infusion or decoction of medicinal plants, administered for therapeutic purposes. Unlike classic herbal teas, an apozem has a higher density of active ingredients due to prolonged boiling or maceration, traditionally used as a magistral remedy in phytotherapy.
