How do I search for recommendations made by the member states delegates?

Answer:

Recommendations issued by the Committee of Experts on the Classification of Medicines as Regards their Supply are available in the Search tab of the Melclass database.

If you know the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification (i.e. the classification of active ingredients of medicinal products according to the organ or system on which they act and their therapeutic, pharmacological and chemical properties) of the active ingredient you are interested in, you can select the corresponding ATC code in the “Select ATC” search-bar (Filters section) and then click on Search.

If you know the International Non-proprietary Name (INN) i.e. the unique and universally available designated name of the active ingredient you are interested in, you can select the corresponding INN in the “Select INN” search-bar (Filters section) and then click on Search.

If you do not know the ATC code or the INN of the active ingredient of interest, you can consult the ATC/DDD Index that is available on the website of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology (URL: http://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/ ).
