Italian term

AHCL

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) pharmacology
This is from an adverse event report. The reports lists the medication the patient was taking, as "[xxxxx] AHCL"

I see this following other medication names online as well, such as quetiapina AHCL and atenololo AHCL.

I don't find this with English drug names. What does this stand for, and what is the English equivalent?

Grazie di nuovo.

no more context! Ciao Gilberto,

No, this is a very short report; it reports an adverse drug reaction and gives the name of the drug (which I want to omit, just in case there is a confidentiality question) and this is followed by AHCL. As I said, I find these letters after a few other drug names, here for example: https://www.accord-healthcare.it/farmaci/quetiapina-ahcl/

(This Quetiapine page shows more context than my document, but I see nothing here that can give a clue about what AHCL means.)

Cloridrato? Ciao Joseph! In pharmacology HCL usually means "hydrochloride". The meaning of 'A' remains to be understood. Do you have more context?
