ATC code (Anatomic Therapeutical Chemical) is a drug classification system. In the ATC system drugs are divided into different groups and sub-groups, according on which part of the body the act, and also on the basis of their therapeutical, pharmaceutical and chemical properties. There are 5 levels in the ATC classification system. In the first level, the drugs are divided in 14 main groups. Each of these 14 groups is furthermore divided into 4 sub-groups. The second and the third subgroup are pharmaceutical or therapeutical sub-groups. The fourth sub-group indicates the chemical, therapeutical or pharmacological group the substance belongs to. The last sub-group is the individual substance

For example, ciprofloxacin's ATC code would be J01MA02

  • J Anti-infectives for systemic use
    • J01 Antibacterials for systemic use
      • J01M Quinolone antibacterials
        • J01MA Fluoroquinolones
          • J01MA02 Ciprofloxacin
