Abstract
Antidotarium Nicolai was considered to be a text of capital importance in medieval pharmacology to prepare prescriptions. The aim of this research paper is to offer an up-to-date synopsis about a work which was a key element in European pharmacopoeia. Our research is based on a combination of data and critical reviews from historical medical documents. The Antidotarium was written after Constantine with a very didactic proposal, which was of the main traits in the school of Salerno. It`s worth noting formulae using opium, Hyoscyamus niger L., Mandragora officinarum L., theriac preparations and Unguentum populeum.
