Naming Guidelines

FSN

For concepts with 736472000 |Has dose form administration method (attribute)| = 738996007 |Spray (administration method)|, use the following pattern for the FSN; align naming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concept that is selected as the attribute value. For multiple intended sites, the intended sites must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “or”.

  • <Dose form release characteristic> <Dose form intended site FSN> <Dose form administration method> (dose form)
Example:

For example,

      • Conventional release cutaneous spray (dose form)
      • Conventional release nasal spray (dose form)
      • Conventional release sublingual spray (dose form)

---------------

For concepts representing drops with 736472000 |Has dose form administration method (attribute)| = 738994005 |Instill (administration method)|, use the following pattern for the FSN; align naming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concept that is selected as the attribute value. For multiple intended sites, the intended sites must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “or”.

  • <Dose form release characteristic> <Dose form intended site FSN> <Dose form administration method> (dose form)
Example:

For example,

      • Conventional release nasal drops (dose form)
      • Prolonged-release eye drops (dose form)

---------------

For concepts representing drug delivery systems, use the following pattern for the FSN; align naming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concept that is selected as the attribute value. For multiple intended sites, the intended sites must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “or”.

  • <Dose form release characteristic> <Dose form intended site FSN> drug delivery system
Example:

For example,

      • Prolonged-release intrauterine drug delivery system (dose form)
      • Prolonged-release transdermal drug delivery system (dose form)

Preferred Term

For concepts with 736472000 |Has dose form administration method (attribute)| = 738996007 |Spray (administration method)|, use the following pattern for the PT; align naming and case sensitivity with the PT for the concept that is selected as the attribute value. For multiple intended sites, the intended sites must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “or”. Exclude <Dose form release characteristic> when = 736849007 |Conventional release (release characteristic)|.

  • <Dose form release characteristic> <Dose form intended site FSN> <Dose form administration method>
Example:

For example,

      • Cutaneous spray
      • Nasal spray
      • Sublingual spray

---------------

For concepts representing drops with 736472000 |Has dose form administration method (attribute)| = 738994005 |Instill (administration method)|, use the following pattern for the PT; align naming and case sensitivity with the PT for the concept that is selected as the attribute value. For multiple intended sites, the intended sites must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “or”. Exclude <Dose form release characteristic> when = 736849007 |Conventional release (release characteristic)|.

  • <Dose form release characteristic> <Dose form intended site FSN> <Dose form administration method>
