Abstract
Background and Aim: Despite not having the same component and apparently a little similarity, the names of compounded drugs in Persian medicine were not quite different. This case study aims to investigate the components concerning nomenclature for combination drugs.
Methods: The research community contains three important books in traditional pharmacy named Gharabadin- e- Salehi, Gharabadin-e- Kabeer, and Gharabadin-e- Azam. Due to the multiplicity and variety of electuaries, this study has been limited to only a select group of them.
Ethical Considerations: All moral considerations, including the originality of texts in the manuscripts and also moral rights of authors were imbibed and then on reflected in the study.
Results: The results of the study indicate that eight components were important. These three items are among the components to gather information: (1) pharmaceutical dosage forms, (2) the main ingredient of the drug, and (3) the people are credited with inventing/ re-inventing drugs.
Conclusion: Because of various components of nomenclature resulting from non-cooperation, there is a need for special investigation.
