Medicinal Product containing Concept
Overview
|Product containing x (medicinal product)| concepts are abstract representations of the active ingredient(s) for a medicinal product.
For example,
Product containing axitinib (medicinal product)
Product containing abacavir and lamivudine (medicinal product)
The medicinal product must contain the active ingredient(s) specified in the FSN but may also contain a modification of the active ingredient(s) specified in the FSN or may contain additional active ingredient(s). For example, "Product containing amoxicillin" represents products that must contain some amoxicillin (with any type of modification, be it amoxicillin sodium, or amoxicillin trihydrate, or no modification, as in amoxicillin (base)), but may also contain other active ingredients, such as clavulanic acid. This is the open world view.
In stating “abstract representations...for a medicinal product”, the concept definition implies that at least one medicinal product exists, or has existed globally, that has that set of active ingredient substance(s). This precludes the possibility of generating MPs representing theoretical, or indeed all possible, combinations of sets of active ingredient substances.
