Iran Minister of the War had purchased this Military Pharmacy from Austria in an auction (around 1850 – 1860) and initially the General Hadi Khan was appointed as its director. The pharmacy was established on the former Cheragh Gaz Street (now known as Amir Kabir Street) in Tehran. 25-30 years later, after death of Hadi Khan, this nephew, Dr. Abdul Hossien Nezami, the French – trained Pharmacist and the professor of the pharmodynamics    at Tehran Pharmacy School became in charge of the pharmacy. He taught the students of pharmacy the and orderly recorded the date of their prescriptions, the name of medications and patients who referred to the pharmacy. After renovation, the military pharmacy was displayed at the museum in a ceremony held on Sep 2003. Some old pill and suppository machines as well as old pharmaceutical brochures, special containers for keeping drugs and the record books of the pharmacy are exhibited. Many interesting historical documents including the first agenda of the Tehran pharmacists Association are also available at this pharmacy.
