Listerine was originally a surgical antiseptic!🦷🧼

Did you know Listerine wasn’t always a mouthwash?

In 1879, Dr. Joseph Lawrence, a chemist, developed Listerine as a surgical antiseptic and named it in honor of Joseph Lister, the pioneer of antiseptic surgery. It was initially used to clean wounds, sterilize surgical instruments, and even as a floor cleaner! It wasn’t until the 1920s that it became popular as the first over-the-counter mouthwash, marketed to fight "chronic halitosis" (bad breath) , and sales skyrocketed!

🧪From surgery to smiles, that’s pharmacy history at work!

Brains were busy and concepts were unlocked during today’s online DOKE Session 🧠📚

Our 1st-year Pharmacy students powered through Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry, with a little Anatomy and Physiology along the way. Big thanks to everyone who joined and to the SHIELD Mentoring Program for making the learning both fun and productive!

How are you holding up with the workload, Pharmates?

Sometimes you just need a break from the walls of text. So, instead of just staring at your notes until the words stop making sense, come see if any of that pharma info actually stuck. 💊🎮

We’re turning the grind into a bit of a challenge. It’s quick, it’s competitive, and it’s definitely a more productive break than another 30-minute scroll. Give it a go whenever you need a breather from the heavy stuff. ☕✨

Guess that drug, future RPhs! 🚀
