STANDARDIZATION OF DESCRIPTION OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS

Prerequisites and results of the work carried out by the Scientific Centre for Expert Evaluation of Medicinal Products on the standardization of the values of international non-proprietary, grouping and chemical names of drugs, anatomic-therapeutic-chemical classification, dosage forms, dosage units and other data are presented. The information is reduced to the same unique values in terms of information about identical drugs. This information is required for inclusion in a single directory drugs classifier, created to automate the management of drug purchases and implementation of a system for monitoring the movement of drugs. The work also substantiates the need for further revision and updating of the previously conducted work on the unification of information fields, and the revision of positions that did not previously require processing due to their uniqueness. The prospects for standardization of the description of medicines within the framework of the single market of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union are outlined.
