This paper presents an information system on pharmacological categories that provides the definition of the pharmacological actions and the anatomic-therapeutic-chemical classification or pharmaco-therapeutic-chemical arrangement that identifies a pharmacological category; it is recommended by WHO. This system with information available in Spanish and English facilitates the printing of the category listings in both languages with their respective codes. It operates in a way similar to a pharmacological dictionary, is an important consulting tool since it scientifically defines each of the actions that it avails of, and is also a back-up material for everyone who in one way or another is linked to the medical-pharmaceutical field because socially and economically advantageous updated information can be obtained from it. This system was prepared with Borland Delphi 3.0 programming language, which presents a friendly and interactive environment for the end-user of the system.

Keywords : INFORMATION SYSTEMS; CLINICAL PHARMACY INFORMATION SYSTEMS; CHEMICAL ACTIONS; DRUG INFORMATION SERVICES; INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL; DICTIONARIES, PHARMACEUTIC.
