[The development of medical pharmacology in Uppsala with an outlook towards Europe].

The history of pharmacology at the University of Uppsala (founded in 1477) until 1925 is briefly outlined. The development of modern experimental pharmacology under the great influence by Buchheim and Schmiedeberg in Dorpat/Tartu and Strassburg during the latter part of the 19th century has been dealt with in greater detail, also from a Nordic and European perspective.
