Professor Alexandru Ionescu-Matiu (1883–1975), pharmacist and chemist, famous university scholar, in his manuscript Essay of Pharmacy History, said: “... chemistry remains an inexhaustible source, able to solve many theoretical and practical problems, but pharmacy is a science that depends on chemistry and its development”.In the paper, we highlight some aspects regarding pharmacy and the history of pharmacy, science and discipline of pharmaceutical university education, in correlation with other branches of science.
