Medication codelists can quickly become outdated and may not be
suitable for reuse. The
dictionary of medicines and devices
is updated weekly and
BNF codes
are updated monthly. Please check carefully for any new medicines
and codes before reusing this
codelist, or
create your own.
About
Description
Taken from the `PHARMDRUG_COD` NHS drug refset. Contains public sector information licensed under the UK Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).
Methodology
This codelist was imported automatically. The following codes were not found in the Dictionary of Medicines and Devices dictionary and so excluded from this codelist: 323332004, 323292003, 323300004, 421941008, 323319009, 323298004, 323293008, 323299007, 323291005, 420608002, 323346004.
This may be because this codelist contains both clinical terms and medications. In which case you may need to create another codelist for the missing clinical/medication codes.
Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
