ATC code V
ATC code V is a section of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC), 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 widely used internationally for drug classification.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The ATC code V is designated for various products that do not fit into the other main categories of the ATC system. These products are often used for diagnostic purposes, as well as for other non-therapeutic uses. The ATC code V is divided into several subgroups, each representing a different type of product.
Subgroups[edit | edit source]
The main subgroups under ATC code V include:
- ATC code V01 - Allergens
- ATC code V03 - All other therapeutic products
- ATC code V04 - Diagnostic agents
- ATC code V07 - All other non-therapeutic products
Each of these subgroups is further divided into more specific categories based on the type of product and its intended use.
ATC code V01 - Allergens[edit | edit source]
This subgroup includes products used for the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. These products are often used in allergy testing and immunotherapy.
ATC code V03 - All other therapeutic products[edit | edit source]
This subgroup includes a variety of therapeutic products that do not fit into the other main categories of the ATC system. Examples include antidotes, chelating agents, and other specialized treatments.
ATC code V04 - Diagnostic agents[edit | edit source]
This subgroup includes products used for diagnostic purposes, such as contrast media for imaging studies, diagnostic dyes, and other agents used in medical testing.
ATC code V07 - All other non-therapeutic products[edit | edit source]
This subgroup includes a variety of non-therapeutic products, such as dietary supplements, disinfectants, and other products used in healthcare settings.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The ATC code V is used by healthcare professionals, researchers, and regulatory agencies to classify and organize various medical products. This classification system helps in the standardization of drug information and facilitates the comparison of drug usage across different countries and regions.
