Description

A list of combination inhalers including a long acting beta agonist (LABA) and long acting antimuscarininc (LAMA) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) preparations at VMP and AMP from the NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices.

Methodology

The codelist was prepared by including all VMPs/AMPs mapped from BNF codes in the Jupyter notebook below and including all form_routes that aren't nebules. The list was cross checked with NHS RightBreathe to ensure all new products were included.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.

* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
