This course aims to introduce the advance search tool capabilities in the MedNet session.

The MedNet services allow you to perform on-line queries of WHO INN data  and for Lists of Proposed and recommended INNs as well the status requests.  

You can search the INN database for INN names, for names published on recommended or proposed lists, and display the equivalent of the Latin INN name in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Russian. You will also be informed about any existing national names, ATC codes if assigned to INNs and the basic chemical information. The INN Status query allows for tracking the status of INNs within the INN process.
