ATC code P51
ATC Code P51[edit | edit source]
The ATC code P51 is part of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, which is used for the classification of drugs and other medical products. The ATC system is controlled by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used globally to ensure uniformity in the classification of pharmaceuticals.
Overview[edit | edit source]
ATC code P51 is designated for products used in the treatment of parasitic diseases in animals. This code is part of the broader ATCvet system, which is a version of the ATC system specifically adapted for veterinary medicine. The ATCvet system is used to classify veterinary medicinal products based on their therapeutic use and chemical characteristics.
Classification[edit | edit source]
The ATCvet system is structured similarly to the human ATC system, with codes assigned based on the anatomical group, therapeutic group, pharmacological group, and chemical group. The code P51 specifically pertains to antiparasitic products, insecticides, and repellents used in veterinary medicine.
Subgroups[edit | edit source]
Within the P51 category, there are further subdivisions that classify products based on their specific use and chemical composition. These subgroups help in identifying the precise type of antiparasitic treatment, whether it is for internal or external parasites, and the specific species it is intended for.
Importance in Veterinary Medicine[edit | edit source]
Antiparasitic products are crucial in veterinary medicine as they help in controlling and preventing parasitic infections in animals. These infections can have significant health impacts on animals and can also affect human health through zoonotic transmission. Therefore, the classification and regulation of these products are essential for ensuring their efficacy and safety.
