Gyógyszertípusok
Gyógyszertípusok refers to the classification of medicines. Drugs can be categorized in several ways, including by their mechanism of action, their therapeutic effect, or their chemical structure. One common classification is based on the condition they treat, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections, analgesics for pain relief, or antihypertensives for high blood pressure. Another approach is to group them by how they are administered, like oral medications, injectables, topical creams, or inhalers. Pharmacological classification also considers how a drug interacts with the body's systems, for instance, drugs that affect the central nervous system or the cardiovascular system.
The World Health Organization's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System is a widely used international standard.
