Description

A list of combination inhalers including a long acting beta agonist (LABA) and long acting antimuscarininc (LAMA) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) preparations at VMP and AMP from the [NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices](https://ebmdatalab.net/what-is-the-dmd-the-nhs-dictionary-of-medicines-and-devices/).

Methodology

The codelist was prepared by including all VMPs/AMPs mapped from BNF codes in the Jupyter notebook below and including all form_routes that aren't nebules. The list was cross checked with NHS RightBreathe to ensure all new products were included.

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.
