MedDRA (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities) is the ICH (International Council for the Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use) standardised medical terminology dictionary.
MedDRA aims to facilitate sharing of regulatory information internationally for medical products used by humans. Products covered by the scope of MedDRA include pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines and drug-device combination products. MedDRA is a collection of terms for medical conditions, investigations, medical procedures, social, family history, etc., but this dictionary does not include, for example, test numerical values for results and substance names. MedDRA is an extensive medical terminology with a unique architecture and features that support public health monitoring, data analysis, communication (both electronic and traditional) and data management.
MedDRA has medical terminology available in several languages, i.e. in Latvian and English.
