ATC code M04

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ATC code M04 Antigout preparations is a therapeutic subgroup of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the classification of drugs and other medical products.[1][2][3] Subgroup M04 is part of the anatomical group M Musculo-skeletal system.[4]

Codes for veterinary use (ATCvet codes) can be created by placing the letter Q in front of the human ATC code: for example, QM04.[5]
National issues of the ATC classification may include additional codes not present in this list, which follows the WHO version.
