Combined Pharmaceutical Dose Form
Definition and Purpose
The combined pharmaceutical dose form is used to combine two or more pharmaceutical dose forms into a single term, in order to describe a medicinal product that consists of two or more manufactured items that are intended to be combined to produce a single pharmaceutical product for administration to the patient.
It is not used to combine pharmaceutical dose forms with other classes of term such as containers or administration devices (see instead Combined Term).
It is not used to combine pharmaceutical dose forms that are packaged together but administered separately rather than being combined to produce a single pharmaceutical product (see instead Combination Pack).
