Who makes ATC M01AE01 (ibuprofen) medicines?
ATC M01AE01 is the ATC code for ibuprofen in the anti-inflammatory/analgesic system (M01AE = propionic acid derivatives; 01 = ibuprofen). The code applies to the active ingredient, so it covers many products from multiple manufacturers, including branded and generic ibuprofen tablets, capsules, suspensions, and topical forms (where separately coded by specific ATC entries).
Because the ATC code is ingredient-based rather than company-based, the “who” depends on the country/market and the exact product form (oral vs. other dosage forms).
How can you find the exact manufacturer(s) for your country?
To identify the manufacturer for an ibuprofen product in ATC M01AE01, you typically need to check:
- the local drug register (national formulary/regulatory listing),
- the product label/packaging (manufacturer and marketing authorization holder),
- or a database that lists ATC codes linked to specific brands.
If you tell me your country (e.g., UK, US, Canada, Germany, etc.) and whether you mean oral ibuprofen or a specific dose form, I can narrow it to the actual companies/brands sold under ATC M01AE01 there.
Are brands interchangeable under M01AE01?
Yes. Products with ATC M01AE01 share the same active ingredient (ibuprofen), but they can differ in:
- strength (e.g., 200 mg vs 400 mg),
- formulation (immediate vs modified release),
- excipients,
- and sometimes regulatory status (OTC vs prescription).
Quick clarification
Your wording looks like a typo: did you mean “Who has ATC M01AE01 (ibuprofen)?” or “Which companies have products with ATC M01AE01 in my country?”
Reply with your country and dosage form, and I’ll pinpoint the manufacturers/brands that match.
