E-DRUG: DDD of antibiotics (3)
------------------------------
I would suggest that you contact Kari Bremer at WHO/DAP. She is a Norwegian pharmacist who I know is interested in this field.
Good luck!

E-DRUG: DDD of antibiotics (4)
------------------------------
The DDDs are listed in a booklet called ATC index with DDD's 1997.
The booklet may be obtained from

There is also another book called "Guidelines for ATC classification and DDD assignment" which E-druggers might find useful if they are not familiar with the classification system and the technical unit DDD.
I am willing to fax you the relevant pages on antibiotics as well if you so wish.
