QH<br />
SYSTEMIC HORMONAL PREPARATIONS, EXCL. SEX<br />
HORMONES AND INSULINS<br />
The group QH comprises hormonal preparations for systemic use, excluding sex<br />
hormones and insulins. Sex hormones are classified in QG - Genito urinary system<br />
and sex hormones. Insulins are classified i QA10 - Drugs used in diabetes. Note<br />
that there are hormonal preparations for systemic use that should be classified in<br />
other groups. For example, plain preparations of oxytocin and derivatives are<br />
classified in this group, but when combined with ergot alkaloids they are assigned<br />
to QG - Genito urinary system and sex hormones.<br />
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and analogues are classified in this<br />
group, but they are assigned to QG when the aim is to stimulate ovulation, or to the<br />
group QL - Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents when the product is used<br />
for neoplastic diseases.<br />
Corticosteroids for systemic use (including preparations for local injection) are<br />
classified in this group, with the exception of antiinflammatory agents in<br />
combination with corticosteroids, which should be classified in QM01BA.<br />
Preparations used in thyroid therapy, as well as iodine products for systemic use,<br />
are found in QH. Pancreatic hormones e.g. glucagon, are found here, but not the<br />
insulins, which are classified in QA10A - Insulins and analogues. Hormonal<br />
preparations acting on the calcium homeostasis are also classified here.<br />
