Abstract

A drug classification system using a generic group code and a universal drug number is developed to determine whether the drug comprises a single formulation or a composite formulation using the generic group code, understands an administration type, dose and/or formulation type of the drug, registers a universal drug number for the drug in association with the generic group code, traces back the generic group code from the universal drug number, and identifies a company name and a trade name of the drug which in turn rapidly and easily recognizes the drug; and, in addition, a drug classification method using the same. The system may manage the generic group code and the universal drug number in association with the company code, thereby enabling quick and exact management of drug information.

Dependent claims

A drug classification system using a generic group code and an universal drug number, the system comprising:

a user equipment (2) that connects to a drug classification server (4) through a data network, displays information in association with generic group codes which are pre-registered in the server by applying known generic group codes and/or universal drug numbers, displays detailed drug names in associated with the known generic group codes or, otherwise, inputs a specific drug name into the server in order to display corresponding generic group codes and universal drug numbers;
a drug classification server (4) that automatically assigns a generic group code and a universal drug number corresponding to a new drug information, registers the assigned generic group code and universal drug number corresponding to the drug information, combines a company code into the universal drug number, receives an information regarding a certain generic group code, universal drug number or drug name, and then, extracts a corresponding information from the registered drug-related information, and transports the extracted information to the user equipment (2);
and
a database (6) for storing drug-related information.

1 more element

A drug classification process using a generic group code and a universal drug number, comprising steps of:

inputting a component information by a server manager;
assigning a generic group code according to the component information;
assigning a universal drug number to match with the generic group code when the generic group code is assigned;
interconnecting between the generic group code and the universal drug number by a drug classification server, when the universal drug number is assigned;
inputting a given generic group code, universal drug number or drug name into the drug classification server through a user equipment;
extracting a component information corresponding to the given generic group code, universal drug number or drug name by the drug classification server and displaying the extracted information on the user equipment;
determining whether a signal for selecting the generic group code is received from the user equipment by the drug classification server;
and
extracting the drug information corresponding to the generic group code by the drug classification server and displaying the extracted information on user equipment, when the generic group code is received.
