What is Chinese Materia Medica, and what is the difference between Chinese Materia Medica and Pharma

Based on the basic theory of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine studies the first, diagnostic and preventive effects of Chinese medicine.

The differences between Chinese Materia Medica and Pharmacy are as follows:

1. The courses of pharmacy and Chinese medicine are different.

Pharmacy: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Medicinal Botany, Natural Medicinal Chemistry, Cell Biology, Human Physiology, Anatomy, Immunology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Pharmacology and Chinese Materia Medica: The scope is much narrower than the above.

Pharmacy does not mean that the old liquid rarely involves traditional Chinese medicine, but the part that deals with traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the study of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, rather than the excellent identification of medicinal materials. The Chinese Materia Medica learns the preparation of some Chinese medicines, such as how to cure honey pills, how to make syrup, etc.

Although pharmacy includes Chinese medicine, the two disciplines have different emphasis. The main object of pharmacy is Western medicine, and the so-called related learning of Chinese medicine is just a quick look and an understanding. Traditional Chinese medicine is specialized in learning the relevant knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, but the learning method of traditional Chinese medicine is not limited to traditional learning, and it is also necessary to use the relevant knowledge in Western medicine to rationally analyze and apply traditional Chinese medicine.

2. The focus of training is different.

It is a science major. If it is a traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical engineering, it belongs to engineering traditional Chinese medicine.

Pharmacy is a first-level discipline, and there are many second-level disciplines below. The biggest difference with traditional Chinese medicine is that pharmacy is the study of Western medicine. It is a science major. The learning content also involves related knowledge, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacy, drug analysis and so on.
