ATC code L

Last updated

ATCcodeLAntineoplastic and immunomodulating agents is a section 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. [1]

The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System is a drug classification system that classifies the active ingredients of drugs according to the organ or system on which they act and their therapeutic, pharmacological and chemical properties. It is controlled by the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology (WHOCC), and was first published in 1976.

World Health Organization Specialised agency of the United Nations

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is concerned with international public health. It was established on 7 April 1948, and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The WHO is a member of the United Nations Development Group. Its predecessor, the Health Organisation, was an agency of the League of Nations.

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

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

L Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents
L01 Antineoplastic agents
L02 Endocrine therapy
L03 Immunostimulants
L04 Immunosuppressants
