Material medica, the science of drug preparation and the medical uses of drugs began to develop as the precursor to pharmacology. In the late 18th and early 19th century the methods of experimental physiology and pharmacology developed. This helped to lay the foundation down needed for understanding how drugs work at the organ and tissue levels.
