This group is the most heterogenous one. Most preparations assigned to it cannot be
classified in any other anatomical main group. Some of the preparations could also
be classified as medical devices or general nutrients.
Some substances only intended for use as antidotes, e.g. atipamezole, sarmazenil
and diprenorfin, are classified in QV03AB90, QV03AB91 and QV03AB92,
respectively. The 5th level codes 90, 91 and 92 are specific to the classification of
veterinary substances; there are no corresponding codes in the ATC system.
However, the classification of most preparations in this group is based on the ATC
classifications for human medicine.
Diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are classified in this group.
