Properties and units in the clinical laboratory sciences. Part XII. Properties and units in clinical pharmacology and toxicology (Technical Report) (IFCC-IUPAC 1999)

Abstract

The term designating a substance being an active ingredient of a drug may be a generic name, a nonproprietary name, a registered trade name, a fantasy name, or other. This causes difficulties in the transmission of requests and reports on properties for such substances in biological fluids to and from the clinical laboratories, and in the collating of this information from different sources.The document comprises a list of properties of drugs in biological fluids for use in electronic transmission systems. Systematic names are presented together with a code value for each.
