Ravimrühm

Ravimrühm refers to a classification system used to group medicinal drugs based on their pharmacological action or chemical structure. This categorization helps healthcare professionals understand how drugs work, identify potential interactions, and make informed treatment decisions. Drugs within the same group often target similar biological mechanisms or have comparable effects on the body.

Common classification systems include the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System, which categorizes drugs based on the organ or system they act on and their therapeutic, pharmacological, and chemical properties. Another approach is to group drugs by their mechanism of action, such as beta-blockers or proton pump inhibitors. These groupings are essential for pharmacovigilance, drug development, and the dissemination of medical information. Understanding drug groups aids in recognizing similarities and differences between medications, facilitating the selection of the most appropriate therapy for a given condition and patient.
