ATC code C

Pharmaceutical drug classification
ATC code C: Cardiovascular system
  • C01 Cardiac therapy
  • C02 Antihypertensives
  • C03 Diuretics
  • C04 Peripheral vasodilators
  • C05 Vasoprotectives
  • C07 Beta blocking agents
  • C08 Calcium channel blockers
  • C09 Agents acting on the renin–angiotensin system
  • C10 Lipid modifying agents
Other ATC codes

ATC code C Cardiovascular system is a section of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the classification of drugs and other medical products.[1][2][3][4]

Codes for veterinary use (ATCvet codes) can be created by placing the letter Q in front of the human ATC code: for example, QC.[5]
National issues of the ATC classification may include additional codes not present in this list, which follows the WHO version.
