Classify here works on pharmacology in general or on the pharmacology of individual drugs or types of drugs grouped according to their specific action.
Note that occasionally agents are classed together because they are frequently treated together regardless of their different actions, e.g., sulfur and sulfur compounds in QV 265. Classify works dealing with the general aspects of pharmacy and pharmaceutics in the section beginning with QV 701. Note that Pharmacy and Pharmaceutics section also has many of the early range or form numbers found under Pharmacology.
