Ten Drugs
How Plants, Powders, and Pills Have Shaped the History of Medicine
Thomas HagerPostscript 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.
