[The birth of the modern Moroccan pharmaceutical legislation].

Currently the Moroccan pharmaceutical profession is about to celebrate its centenary. Since the French protectorate period a great evolution occurred; from little herbalist shops in the countryside the dispensaries became real small companies managed by doctors in pharmacy. The objective of this study is to clarify the first pharmaceutical legislative texts in Morocco and the context of their adoption. It also aims at pointing out, describing and analyzing the provisions' evolution that governed the general pharmacy practice conditions during protectorate. Based on the information available we examined and studied successively these practice conditions and more particularly the diploma, the age and the officinal training course.
