Abstract

This article seeks to elucidate the beginnings of pharmaceutical practice in Rijeka. The first problem is to date the opening of the first pharmacy. According to the majority of relevant sources, history of pharmacy in Rijeka has been documented since the beginning of the 18th century, while the mentions of pharmacies in the middle of the 15th century are uncertain and less probable. The article also brings an overview of how pharmaceutical practice developed until the end of the 20th century and singles out the foundation of Jadran-Galenski Laboratorij as the largest pharmaceutical company in the area.
