Description
This medication concept set includes the following ingredients: Acebutolol, Atenolol, Betaxolol, Bisoprolol, Carteolol, Carvediol, Labetalol, Metoprolol, Nadolol, Nebivolol, Penbutolol, Pindolol, Propanolol, Sotalol and Timolol. It also includes combinations of these ingredients with other antihypertensive medications. This code list was generated by taking the descendants of all the beta blocker ingredients of interest string matching on the concept_name of the ingredient. Limited to NDC, RxNorm, and RxNorm Extension codes. Meds were expected to be only oral/enteral/IV, not topical, ophthalmic/ocular, or buccal.
Technical Note: This concept set was created when ingredients were required for some sites. It could be enhanced by using SCDF drug levels and taking descendants from there, which would also make this easier to refresh.
