TABLE 1 2009 COMMUNITY PRESCRIPTION NUMBERS, TOGETHER WITH GOVERNMENT AND PATIENT COSTS FOR PBS LISTED DRUGS Table 1 includes an estimate of community prescription numbers for the 2009 calendar year, costs (government and patient contribution) for the items with a four digit PBS/RPBS code, together with the defined daily dose (DDD) where assigned. There is no cost information available for items with a five digit Amfac drug code. Table 1 excludes the presentation of information on any item with an estimated community use of less than 110 prescriptions in 2009. The prescription items are arranged by ATC code on generic name, and by form and strength using either the PBS drug code (4 digit plus alpha) or, for non-PBS items, the Amfac drug code (5 digit). Note that in this edition, “Item type” has been added to distinguish between PBS drug code and non-PBS drug code, for instance, P refers to PBS drug code and A refers to Amfac drug code. Note that Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification index with Defined Daily Doses (DDDs) 2010 is used in all statistics published in this edition (refer to WHO collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology, ATC classification index with DDDs 2010). An index by second level of the ATC classification follows: ALIMENTARY TRACT AND METABOLISM 43 A01 STOMATOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS 43 A02 DRUGS FOR ACID RELATED DISORDERS 44 A03 DRUGS FOR FUNCTIONAL GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS 47 A04 ANTIEMETICS AND ANTINAUSEANTS 48 A05 BILE AND LIVER THERAPY 49 A06 LAXATIVES 51 A07 ANTIDIARRHOEALS, INTESTINAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY/ANTIINFECTIVES 52 A08 ANTIOBESITY PREPARATIONS EXCLUDING DIET PRODUCTS 54 A09 DIGESTIVES INCLUDING ENZYMES 55 39 A10 ANTIDIABETIC THERAPY 56 A11 VITAMINS 59 A12 MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS 60 A14 ANABOLIC AGENTS FOR SYSTEMIC USE 61 BLOOD AND BLOOD FORMING ORGANS 62 B01 ANTITHROMBOTIC AGENTS 62 B02 ANTIHAEMORRHAGICS 64 B03 ANTIANAEMIC PREPARATIONS 65 B05 BLOOD SUBSTITUTES AND PERFUSION SOLUTIONS 67 B06 OTHER HAEMATOLOGICAL AGENTS 68 CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM 69 C01 CARDIAC THERAPY 69 C02 ANTIHYPERTENSIVES 71 C03 DIURETICS 72 C04 PERIPHERAL VASODILATORS 73 C05 VASOPROTECTIVES 74 C07 BETA BLOCKING AGENTS 75 C08 CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS 76 C09 AGENTS ACTING ON RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM 77 C10 LIPID MODIFYING AGENTS PLAIN 81 DERMATOLOGICALS 83 D01 ANTIFUNGALS FOR DERMATOLOGICAL USE 83 D02 EMOLLIENTS AND PROTECTIVES 85 D03 PREPARATIONS FOR TREATMENT OF WOUNDS & ULCERS 86 D04 ANTIPRURITICS, INCLUDING ANTIHISTAMINES, ANAESTHETICS ETC 87 D05 ANTIPSORIATICS 88 D06 ANTIBIOTICS AND CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS FOR DERMATOLOGICAL USE 89 D07 CORTICOSTEROIDS, DERMATOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS 90 D08 ANTISEPTICS AND DISINFECTANTS 92 D09 MEDICATED DRESSINGS 93 D10 ANTI-ACNE PREPARATIONS 94 D11 OTHER DERMATOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS 95 40 GENITO URINARY SYSTEM AND SEX HORMONES 96 G01 GYNAECOLOGICAL ANTIINFECTIVES AND ANTISEPTICS 96 G02 OTHER GYNAECOLOGICALS 97 G03 SEX HORMONES AND MODULATORS OF THE GENITAL SYSTEM 98 G04 UROLOGICALS 104 SYSTEMIC HORMONAL preparations, excluding sex hormones 106 H01 PITUITARY, HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES AND ANALOGUES 106 H02 CORTICOSTEROIDS FOR SYSTEMIC USE 107 H03 THYROID THERAPY 108 H04 PANCREATIC HORMONES 109 H05 CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS 110 GENERAL ANTIINFECTIVES FOR SYSTEMIC USE 111 J01 ANTIBACTERIALS FOR SYSTEMIC USE 111 J02 ANTIMYCOTICS FOR SYSTEMIC USE 117 J04 ANTIMYCOBACTERIALS 118 J05 ANTIVIRALS FOR SYSTEMIC USE 119 J07 VACCINES 121 ANTINEOPLASTIC AND IMMUNOMODULATING AGENTS 123 L01 ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS 123 L02 ENDOCRINE THERAPY 132 L03 IMMUNOSTIMULANTS 134 L04 IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS 135 MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM 139 M01 ANTIINFLAMMATORY AND ANTIRHEUMATIC PRODUCTS 139 M02 TOPICAL PRODUCTS FOR JOINT and MUSCULAR PAIN 142 M03 MUSCLE RELAXANTS 143 M04 ANTIGOUT PREPARATIONS 144 M05 DRUGS FOR TREATMENT OF BONE DISEASES 145 NERVOUS SYSTEM 147 N01 ANAESTHETICS 147 N02 ANALGESICS 148 N03 ANTIEPILEPTICS 154 41 N04 ANTI-PARKINSON DRUGS 157 N05 PSYCHOLEPTICS 159 N06 PSYCHOANALEPTICS 167 N07 OTHER NERVOUS SYSTEM DRUGS 168 ANTIPARASITIC PRODUCTS, INSECTICIDES AND REPELLENTS 170 P01 ANTIPROTOZOALS 170 P02 ANTHELMINTICS 171 P03 ECTOPARASITICIDES, INCL.
