The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System, developed by the World Health Organization, categorizes drugs and medical products using alphanumeric codes. One such subgroup, ATC code A03, covers Drugs for functional gastrointestinal disorders within the broader anatomical group A Alimentary tract and metabolism. For veterinary applications, codes are modified by adding a Q prefix (e.g., QA03), known as ATCvet codes. These veterinary codes may exist independently of human codes. National versions of the ATC classification might include additional codes beyond the standard WHO list, ensuring flexibility for local medical practices.
