- Resum
- De antidotis is certainly not the first book that compiled formulas from other sources, but it could be the first, or at least one of the first, devoted exclusively to antidotes. According to Galen's text, the term ἀντίδοτον (antidoton, antidote) had to be used for compound drugs to treat poisoning, envenomation (bites or stings), as well as diseases caused by improper δίαιτα (diaita). Theriacs are antidotes used for all three categories. De antidotis should have been an important work of pharmacotherapy, since this type of formulas became extremely famous for a very long time and in a very wide area, from Brazil to Japan, including in the ceremonial production of the Holy Unguentby the Orthodox Oecumenical Patriarchate. The idea of a general formula for a whole category of ailments prevailed for centuries and it could be the basis for the creation of Tibetan rinchen pills.
