Anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification system

The World Health Organization (WHO) promotes the use of an Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system for the collection and analysis of data on drug use. This was originally developed by Scandinavian authorities, and uses a combination of anatomical, therapeutic and chemical criteria to assign drugs to an individual class. The top-level categories, which are anatomically based, are listed in Table 3.2. [Pg.45]

In the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system, the drugs are divided into different groups according to their site of action and therapeutic and chemical characteristics. [Pg.45]

The ATC Classification System developed by the Nordic coimtries and widely used in Europe meets most classification requirements. Drugs are classified according to their Anatomical, Therapeutic and Chemical characteristics into five levels of specificity, the fifth being that for the single chemical substance. [Pg.83]
