Ten Drugs

How Plants, Powders, and Pills Have Shaped the History of Medicine

Thomas Hager
New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Thomas Hager traces the evolution of ten drugs that have changed medical history, from opium and antipsychotics to statins and the latest monoclonal antibodies, ‘guided missiles produced by clones of identical white blood cells’. As he recounts the discovery and development of each one, he also reveals their social consequences, our changing attitude to medication and the role of pharmaceutical companies.
