GPI (Generic Product Identifier) EXPLAINED
|
The Generic product identifier (GPI) is a 14 - character hierarchical classification system,which identifies drugs from their primary therapeutic use down to the unique interchangeable product regardless manufacturer or pack size.The code consists of seven subsets,each providing increasingly more specific information about a drug product available with a prescription in US market.
The first six characters of the GPI define the therapeutic class code, the next two pairs the drug name, and the last four define route, dosage or strength.
