The directory of generic groups lists the medicinal products included in each generic group, specifying their strength and pharmaceutical form. The generic groups are grouped by active substance designated by its common name preceded by the words “common name” and by route of administration. The information which, in application of article R. 5125-55, must be included in a prescription under a non-proprietary name is specified in the directory for the attention of prescribers.
The directory of generic groups indicates, for each medicinal product, its name, strength and pharmaceutical form, as well as the name of the marketing authorisation holder and, if different from the latter, the name of the company or organisation exploiting the medicinal product, as well as, where applicable, the excipients with known effects which it contains.
