Materia medica is a Latin term from the history of pharmacy for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing. The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the 1st century AD. The term materia medica was used from the period of the Roman Empire until the 20th century but has now been generally replaced in medical education contexts by the term pharmacology. The term survives in the title of the British Medical Journal’s Materia Non Medica column.

With the continuous biotherapy for the usual (pre-infarct) coronary disorders, infarct can be averted to a great extent. For this purpose, the following preparations are suited:
Cralonin, Veratrum-Homaccord, possibly also Vomitusheel (for sickness and nausea, in this case also as suppositories) and
Glonoin-Homaccord N (possibly also ampoules per os of Cactus-Injeel forte, Angio-

Cor compositum, Cactus compositum, Carbo compositum for after-treatment, likewise Strophanthus compositum (which can gradually neutralize the acidification of the myocardial connective tissue which precedes the development of myocardial infarct; likewise in this case intermediate doses of Acidum L(+)-lacticum-Injeel (forte) are beneficial). In addition Coenzyme compositum, possibly also Ubichinon compositum as after-treatment, possibly at intervals also the collective pack of catalysts of the citric acid cycle interposed.
