UNSPSC 51242100: Combination nasal and throat preparations

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that a) treat infections of the upper respiratory tract organ responsible for sense of smell, or the nose and nasal passages therein; and/or b) infections of the funnel-shaped fibromuscular tube that conducts food to the ESOPHAGUS, and air to the LARYNX and LUNGS, known as the throat. These drugs, for these aforesaid reasons, bear the name NASAL AND THROAT PREPARATIONS. Typical combination nasal and throat preparation constituents are anethole, eucalyptus oil, glycerin, menthol, naphazoline, pheniramine, and phenylephrine.

UNSPSC 51242100 Combination nasal and throat preparations is a Class code covering pharmaceutical products that combine active ingredients for treating nasal and throat conditions. State and local governments procure these products primarily through health departments, public health clinics, correctional facilities, and school districts for use in employee wellness programs, inmate medical services, and student health centers. The products typically include combination decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and throat lozenges formulated to address multiple upper respiratory symptoms simultaneously rather than single-indication treatments.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, making it difficult to characterize current issuing-body patterns, geographic activity, or representative recent solicitations with specificity.
