  Key Concepts: 
  Therapeutic class is a classification system used in the IS-HMED Clinical System to group drugs according to their therapeutic effects. It is based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The therapeutic class is used to identify drugs that have similar therapeutic effects and can be used to compare drug costs and effectiveness. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The therapeutic class is used to group drugs according to their therapeutic effects. This allows for easier comparison of drug costs and effectiveness. It also helps healthcare providers identify drugs that have similar therapeutic effects and can be used in combination with other drugs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the therapeutic class, it is important to remember that the ATC classification system is based on the WHO's guidelines and may not be applicable in all countries. Additionally, it is important to note that the therapeutic class does not take into account any potential side effects of a drug.
