Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-formulated in sterile injectable vials
Finished pharmaceutical dosage forms like EpiPens classify under Chapter 30 as medicaments, not bulk hormones.
If veterinary-use only with different structural modifications
Veterinary hormones may fall under other hormone derivatives in 2939 if not specifically catecholamines.
If supplied as diagnostic reagent solution
Mixtures for lab testing rather than therapeutic hormonal use classify as chemical preparations.
