DRUG FORMULARY CODES
Drug formulary, a.k.a. generic drug name, forms the basis for drug prescription in THIRRA.
Every drug tradename must have a parent drug formulary/generic name. Every drug formulary is built upon the ATC drug code which specifies the chemical compound. The clinic can add new drug formulary, if needed.
The sample database uses the drug formulary codes of Malaysia's Ministry of Health [1]. The format of the codes is as follows:
Character Description
7 ATC code 3 Salt substance 3 Dosage form 2 Strength
15 Total
For example:
C10AA01000T1001 Simvastatin 10 mg Tablet C10AA01000T1002 Simvastatin 20 mg Tablet C10AA01000T1003 Simvastatin 40 mg Tablet
