This tenth Cumulative List CD-ROM is intended as a reference source for national drug regulatory authorities, the pharmaceutical industry and health professionals. It supersedes the ninth list published in 1996. It contains over 7250 INNs for individual pharmaceutical substances, including about 740 new names proposed since the previous Cumulative List was prepared. It is produced in a multilingual format: English and French introductory texts, together with a listing of INNs in Latin, English, French, Russian and Spanish. <strong>Information</strong> on Proposed and Recommended International Nonproprietary Names (INNs) can also be consulted on the following website: http://mednet.who.int Special pricing scheme for multiple users: 2-10 users: Swiss francs 350.–/US $315.00 In developing countries: Swiss francs 175.–, order no. 0991010 11-99 users: Swiss francs 450.–/US $405.00 In developing countries: Swiss francs 225.–, order no. 0992010 100 or more users: Swiss francs 600.–/US $540.00 In developing countries: Swiss francs 300.–, order no. 0993010 2002, CD-ROM [E/F] ISBN 92 4 056019 X Swiss francs 290.–/US $261.00 for individual user In developing countries: Sw. fr. 100.– Order no. 0990010
