Proposed Coding Rules
# Code the drug term to the appropriate drug name level of the dictionary (generic/generic and trade/trade)
# Do not change, add, or subtract to the original verbatim in a way that modifies its original meaning or content.
# Abbreviations should be avoided at all costs.
# Misspellings are never assumed as it is dangerous. Eg; PRAZAC (prazosin hydrochloride) and PROZAC (fluoxetine hydrochloride)
# Verbatim terms with symbols – Trade marks, accent marks etc are not appropriate and should be queried and removed while coding clinical data and ignored in post marketing data.
# Verbatim terms with procedures – Code the drug regardless of procedure information.
