This code list contains codes from the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d) for a collection of antidepressants from the BNF Chapter 040304 known as Other Antidepressants. These medicines are all licensed for the treatment of depression. The following antidepressants from this chapter have been excluded: Flupenthixol, Levomilnacripan, Oxitriptan. See github discussion for further details. Trazodone and Mianserin (both from BNF Chapter 040301) have also been included in this codelist. This codelist does not contain Bupropion, because this is not licensed in the UK for depression.

This list is a refinement of previous "do not co-administer" lists to filter out drugs where mitigation strategies may be employed - e.g. withholding the drug during Paxlovid therapy. See GitHub issue for full details.
