BNF code lookup

Find the UK medicines under a BNF code, in the NHSBSA BNF–SNOMED mapping.

About this code

NHSBSA uses BNF codes to classify what is prescribed in primary care. A full code identifies one presentation.

A full BNF code has fifteen characters. Its first characters are the chapter, section and paragraph, so a shorter prefix finds every product beneath it.

Example: 0501013B0BDABAJ Almodan 125mg/5ml syrup (Teva UK Ltd)
