Teotihuacan is located among Mexico and Puebla valleys. Teotihuacan was the most important cultural, economic, political and religious center from Mesoamerica during the centuries I at IV. Although there have been many archaeological and anthropological investigations in Teotihuacan, there are few evidences of the pharmaceutical activity of Teotihuacan. In this work we give a pharmaceutical point of view about a mural found in Tepantitla, which is related with the preparation of remedies and medications.

Keywords : Prehispanic Pharmacy; Teotihuacan; History of the Pharmacy.
