Description
This is a list of all the unique values from the Drug Name variable in the High Cost Drugs Dataset that relate to the prescribing of mepolizumab.
Methodology
The values in this variable do not follow a coding system so the selection for this codelist is based on the drug name value, after converting all text to lower case, containing one or more of the following strings (these are the generic medicine name and brand names):
- mepolizumab
- nucala
All drug name values that contain at least one of the above strings are included in the mepolizumab group and assigned the VTM (virtual therapeutic moiety) code 31201911000001100.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
