QJ<br />
ANTIINFECTIVES FOR SYSTEMIC USE<br />
Group QJ comprises antiinfectives for systemic use, although antiinfectives for<br />
local use are classified in other groups as well. Gynecological antiinfectives, for<br />
example, are classified in QG - Genito urinary system and sex hormones, and<br />
intestinal antiinfectives are classified in QA - Alimentary tract and metabolism.<br />
One active substance might have several ATCvet codes, depending on the<br />
formulation considered.<br />
In the ATC system for human medicines, immune sera and immunoglobulins are<br />
classified in J06 and vaccines are classified in J07. In the ATCvet system, however,<br />
vaccines, immune sera and immunoglobulins are classified in QI - Immunologicals.<br />
The group QJ comprises two 2nd level groups specific to the ATCvet system, QJ51<br />
- Antibacterials for intramammary use and QJ54 - Antimycobacterials for<br />
intramammary use.<br />
Systemically administered antibacterials and antimycotics may also be classified in<br />
other groups if their target is exclusively local, e.g:<br />
QA01AB - Antiinfectives and antiseptics for local oral treatment<br />
QA07A - Intestinal antiinfectives<br />
QD01 - Antifungals for dermatological use<br />
QD06 - Antibiotics and chemotherapeutics for dermatological use<br />
QD07C - Corticosteroids, combinations with antibiotics<br />
QD09AA - Ointment dressings with antiinfectives<br />
QG01 - Gynecological antiinfectives and antiseptics<br />
QG51 - Antiinfectives and antiseptics for intrauterine use<br />
QP - Antiparasitic products, insecticides and repellants<br />
QR02AB - Throat preparations, Antibiotics<br />
QR05X - Other cold combination preparations<br />
QS - Sensory organs<br />
QJ01<br />
ANTIBACTERIALS FOR SYSTEMIC USE<br />
Antibacterials for systemic use, apart from antimycobacterials which are classified<br />
in QJ04 and QJ54, should be classified in this group. They are classified according<br />
to their mode of action and their chemistry.<br />
Combinations of two or more systemic antibacterials from different 3rd level<br />
groups are classified in QJ01R, with the exception of combinations of sulfonamides<br />
and trimethoprim, including derivatives, which are classified in a separate 4th level<br />
group, QJ01EW. Combinations of antibacterials with other substances are classified<br />
in QJ01RV.<br />
Inhaled antiinfectives are classified here.<br />
