Greetings,
The only ATC database I have uncovered during my travels on the web exists
at the European Community Pharmaceutical Information Network Website.
Unfortunately, its use is limited by the fact that it only provides the ATC
codes for the particular medicinal compound. Thus, if you require other
information e.g. DDD's, you may be disappointed. Nonetheless, it's better
than nothing. No username or password is currently required, but you will
need to click the log in button using the default username and password
provided.
The site also provides other useful data e.g. toxicology, analytical methods,
pharmacology, and carcinogenicity.

classification it is.

The WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology now has its
own website, which can be found at the following address:
It includes both the ATC classification and DDDs.
