Abstract

The green colour is historically used as a symbolic mark for the French Pharmacy. Green and red are important for the labelling of dangerous and toxic drugs respectively. Etymological channels about green and red are studied for many words belonging to the pharmaceutical vocabulary and the authorized dying matters. Discussion is led in the field of the semantic signification in Pharmacy at several times.
