Yup.

Ulcers: no H2 blockers/PPIs/H. pylori antibiotics, "cure" was surgery

No SSRI antidepressants

Only 1st generation neuroleptics (antipsychotic meds) with horrible side-effects

No ACE inhibitors/ACE2 blockers (hypertension was a killer)

No Type II diabetes treatments except diet and insulin

And so on.

... I have a copy of the British National Formulary from 1988, and one from 2018. The 2018 edition is literally twice as thick.

1965 was in the pharmacology dark ages.
