ATC code D is a section of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC), which is used for the classification of drugs and other medical substances. This particular code is designated for dermatologicals, which are medications intended for use in treating skin disorders and conditions.
Structure[edit]
The ATC classification system divides drugs into different groups according to the organ or system on which they act and their therapeutic, pharmacological, and chemical properties. Code D is specifically organized into several subgroups:
- D01 - Antifungals for dermatological use
- D02 - Emollients and protectives
- D03 - Preparations for treatment of wounds and ulcers
- D04 - Antipruritics, including antihistamines, anesthetics, etc.
- D05 - Antipsoriatics
- D06 - Antibiotics and chemotherapeutics for dermatological use
- D07 - Corticosteroids, dermatological preparations
- D08 - Antiseptics and disinfectants
- D09 - Medicated dressings
- D10 - Acne treatment preparations
- D11 - Other dermatological preparations
Each of these subgroups is further divided into more specific categories based on the type of drug or treatment.
Usage[edit]
Drugs classified under ATC code D are primarily used for the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and infections. They can be administered in various forms, including creams, ointments, lotions, and solutions.
Importance[edit]
The skin is the largest organ of the body and serves as the first line of defense against environmental hazards. Skin disorders can be not only physically but also psychologically distressing. Effective dermatological treatments play a crucial role in managing these conditions, improving the quality of life for affected individuals, and preventing further complications.
