Explanation:
Under the table of first question, (Hydrogen Peroxide 33%) there is not define the dosage form of
these drug. In this case difficult to represent in the drug coding system. But we did it with
(Hydrogen Peroxide 33% solution) preparations.
In case of a product where a product is found with more than one Chemical forms, take three letters
from a parent compound and take one letter from the chemicals.
And you should select one of generic name of drugs. Like Hyoscine (Scopolamine) Butylbromide-
20mg/ml in 1ml ampoule โ Injection
Note: Hyoscine butylbromide, also known as scopolamine butylbromide and sold under the
brandname Buscopan among others, is an anticholinergic medication used to treat abdominal pain,
esophageal spasms, bladder spasms, biliary colic, and renal colic.
Mixtard 30/70 100 IU is a combination of short-acting and intermediate-acting analogues of
insulin. and Regular Human Insulin (30 International units) + Insulin - Neutral Protaminated
Hagedorn (NPH) (70 International units) It is used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type-I
(high blood sugar levels due to genetic conditions) and type-II (high blood sugar levels due to
inadequate insulin).
Insulin Isophane Mixture 30/70( Mixt ard) (Injection) the type drug manufactured in combination
form of preparation. In this case you should use given under table of brand name of Human insulin
is called (Mixtard)
In case where the drug contains only one compound, take first four letters of the generic name of
the compound:
= ( Indo methacin) = ( Indo)
The first 4 are letters taken from the generic name of the product followed by three-digit numbers
(indicating dosage form, strength and price).
Note: Prescription insulin regular (human) injectable solution is only available as the brand-name
drug Humulin R. It's not available in a generic form. Insulin regular (human) injectable solution
is also available as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug called Novolin R.
As we know currently there are many types of Insulin soluble human [Regular] (Injection) found
it, but under the questions of there is not define the type of brand name drugs, then you should use
directly nominate coding system as we written in the table. ( Insulin soluble human [Regular]
(Injection) ( I nsulin + S oluble + H uman [ R egular] (Injection)) = (ISHR), the word represents
respectively i.e. I = Insulin S = Soluble H = Human R = Regular
Limitation:
All questions given by dosage form of the drugs, but they don`t express the unit price. Why
