Preferred Term should reflect US/GB Preferred Terms consist with the component concepts (e.g. presentation strength numerator unit, precise active ingredient, manufactured dose form).

Exceptions: none identified.

Single ingredient with BoSS = Precise active ingredient:

  • <BoSS PT> <Presentation strength numerator value PT> <Presentation strength numerator unit PT> <manufactured dose form PT>

Exception:

The following units of measure should not be abbreviated in descriptions; they should alwasy be spelled out:
  • international unit
  • microgram
  • million unit
  • nanogram
  • unit

    Example:

    • Abacavir 300 mg oral tablet
    • Abacavir 600 mg and lamivudine 300 mg oral tablet
    • Abacavir 300 mg and lamivudine 150 mg and zidovudine 300 mg oral tablet

    Single ingredient with BoSS <> Precise active ingredient:

    • <BoSS PT> (as <Precise active ingredient PT>) <Presentation strength numerator value PT> <Presentation strength numerator unit PT> <manufactured dose form PT>

    Example:

  • Doxazosin (as doxazosin mesylate) 4 mg oral tablet
  • Disopyramide (as disopyramide phosphate) 150 mg prolonged-release oral capsule
    FSN

    Use the following pattern for the FSN; align terming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concepts that are selected as the attribute value. For multiple ingredient drug diangostic products, the BoSS ingredients must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “and”.

    Single ingredient with BoSS = Precise active ingredient:

    • Product containing precisely <BoSS <Precise active ingredient FSN> <Presentation strength numerator value FSN> <Presentation strength numerator unit FSN>/1 <Presentation strength denominator unit> each <Manufactured dose form FSN> (clinical drugdiagnostic product)

    Example:

    • Product containing precisely abacavir 300 milligram/1 each conventional release oral tablet (clinical drug)
    • Product containing precisely abacavir 600 milligram and lamivudine 300 milligram/1 each conventional release oral tablet (clinical drug)
    • Product containing precisely abacavir 300 milligram and lamivudine 150 milligram and zidovudine 300 milligram/1 each conventional release oral tablet (clinical drug)
    • streptomycin 2.0 microgram/milliliter (diagnostic product)

    Multi ingredientSingle ingredient with BoSS <> Precise active ingredient:

    • Product containing precisely <BoSS FSN> (as <Precise active ingredient FSN>) FSN 1> <Presentation strength numerator value FSN> FSN 1> <Presentation strength numerator unit FSN>/1 each <Manufactured dose form FSN> (clinical drug)

    Example:

    • Product containing precisely doxazosin (as doxazosin mesylate) 4 milligram/1 each conventional release oral tablet
    • Product containing precisely disopyramide (as disopyramide phosphate) 150 milligram/1 each prolonged-release oral capsule
    Preferred Term
    • FSN 1>/<Presentation strength denominator unit 1> and ... <Precise active ingredient FSN n> <Presentation strength numerator value FSN n> <Presentation strength numerator unit FSN n>/<Presentation strength denominator unit n>, <Manufactured dose form FSN> (diagnostic product)

    Example:

    • Product containing precisely amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, test disc (diagnostic product)
    • Product containing precisely amoxicillin 20 microgram and clavulanic acid 10 microgram, test disc (diagnostic product)
    Preferred Term


    Synonyms

    Synonyms corresponding to the FSN are not allowed unless explicitly identified as an exception.

    • Exceptions: Existing instances of synonyms exactly matching the FSN will be retained until time and opportunity allows for their removal. Note that not all language reference set variations of the FSN were included as synonyms.

    Additional synonyms are not allowed unless explicitly identified as an exception.
