ATC code A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ATC code A Alimentary tract and metabolism is a section of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the WHO for the classification of drugs and other medical products.^[1]

Codes for veterinary use (ATCvet codes) can be created by placing the letter Q in front of the human ATC code: QA...^[2]

National issues of the ATC classification may include additional codes not present in this list, which follows the WHO version.
