This package contains **all ~550 antibiotic, antimycotic and antiviral

drugs** and their Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes, ATC
|

<https://atcddd.fhi.no>) and the Pharmaceuticals Community Register of
|
|
the European Commission

|
(<https://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/reg_hum_atc.htm>).
