IMHO, some drugs *should* have more than one ATC code, but the ATC 
classification does not allow this (see WHO reference I gave on 
drugref.org). I had the impression that the PBS guys were allocating a 
"secondary reference" ATC code for that purpose, and we might do the 
same. However, sticking to the rules, any given drug has only *one* ATC 
code regardless of multiple different indications and possible 
classifications.
