description: The Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) was developed
  by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration
  of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)to provide a standardised medical terminology
  to facilitate sharing of regulatory information internationally for medical products
  used by humans. It is used within regulatory processes, safety monitoring, as well
  as for marketing activities. Products covered by the scope of MedDRA include pharmaceuticals,
  biologics, vaccines and drug-device combination products. The MedDRA dictionary
  is organized by System Organ Class (SOC), divided into High-Level Group Terms (HLGT),
  High-Level Terms (HLT), Preferred Terms (PT) and finally into Lowest Level Terms
  (LLT).
