- Definition
- For various reasons it has been deemed impractical to incorporate hundreds of herbal remedies in the regular ATC classification. However, experience from the ATC system - particularly in connection with the monitoring of adverse effects of drugs - has shown that such a system would also be suitable for herbal remedies. In 1998, De Smet proposed a system for ATC classification of herbal remedies which is fully compatible with the regular system. With a few modifications this system has now been adopted and is given in the WHOs published guidelines. If you are interested in these publications, please contact info@who-umc.org.
