Drugs are classified into different groups according to their chemical characteristics, structure and how they are used to treat specific disease, ADWIAH brings you the list of all categories of drugs under therapeutic classification. Each category has its list of generics with their corresponding trade names and price of the drug, periodically updated according to the MOH price list of each country.
This pharmaceutical coding system divides drugs into different groups according to the organ or system on which they act, their therapeutic intent or nature, and the drug’s chemical characteristics. Different brands share the same code if they have the same active substance and indications. Each bottom-level ATC code stands for a pharmaceutically used substance, or a combination of substances, in a single indication (or use).
This means that one drug can have more than one code, for example acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) has A01AD05 (WHO) as a drug for local oral treatment, B01AC06 (WHO) as a platelet inhibitor, and N02BA01 (WHO) as an analgesic and antipyretic; as well as one code can represent more than one active ingredient, for example C09BB04 (WHO) is the combination of perindopril with amlodipine, two active ingredients that have their own codes (C09AA04 (WHO) and C08CA01 (WHO) respectively) when prescribed alone.
The ATC classification system is a strict hierarchy, meaning that each code necessarily has one and only one parent code, except for the 14 codes at the topmost level which have no parents. The codes are semantic identifiers,[5] meaning they depict information by themselves beyond serving as identifiers (namely, the codes depict themselves the complete lineage of parenthood).

Patient Profile System
As a humble contribution, a team of highly qualified specialists (Physicians, Pharmacists and Solutions Developers) was composed to design and build an automated Patient Profile service in both languages (English or Arabic) that covers all patient needs.
Disclaimer: All contents, including drug and medical information, provided in the fields of this software are for educational and assistance purposes only. Such content is intended to supplement, not to substitute the diagnosis, treatment and advice of a medical professional. Such contents do not cover all possible causes, precautions, side effects and interactions; Seek professional guidance before using over the counter or RX drugs.
The system covers the following sections and topics:
1- The user has to create his own Medical History profile, (It will be only saved to his mobile):
– Name, Gender and Year of Birth.
– Medical History, the user has to choose from the system, the appropriate answers.
– The user can choose from the system if he has any chronic disease, the chronic
medicine drugs he takes and if he has allergy to certain drugs.
2- Patient’s Doctors List:
– Doctor’s name, specialty, address and phone number.
3- Doctor Visit Story:
a) Visit date, symptoms and diagnosis of the doctor.

according to the treatment duration days and dosage prescription, If not the user
can take a photo of his prescription and save it on his mobile but at this stage it will be
no processing on the prescription data.
– Study Interactions, on two parts:
1- If there are any interactions between the prescribed medicine drugs.
2- If there are interactions between the prescribed medicine drugs and chronic
medicine drugs taken by the user according to his medical history saved on his
mobile.
– Study Interactions results on a separate screen.
4 – Views and Search my history,
It can be Shown by visits dates, prescriptions and Interactions results.
