ATC code M04

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

ATC codes
M Musculo-skeletal system
M01 Anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products
M02 Topical products for joint and muscular pain
M03 Muscle relaxants
M04 Antigout preparations
M05 Drugs for treatment of bone diseases

Codes for veterinary use (ATCvet codes) can be created by placing the letter Q in front of the human ATC code: for example, QM04.[2]

National issues of the ATC classification may include additional codes not present in this list, which follows the WHO version.
