Also, the WHO points out in respect to ATCs whereas the current GNUmed schema constrains any one substance {description, amount, units} to be unique, and therefore hold only a single ATC, making its ATC arbitrary and maybe serving only to identify the substance (but not how, or for what, it is being used). This is a problem that I am having with attaching ATC to substance, because ATC is a property of one way that a substance can *potentially* be used however this will very much depend on the properties of the vehicle (the formulation of the commercial drug). -- Jim |
