Medications used as covariate in a sensitivity analysis.

Process
1. Used medication categories from approved protocol to search generic names in the BNF database.
2. De-duplicated medications (e.g. removed 'Dapaglifozin/metformin' if 'Dapaglifozin' was in the list)
3. Generic names/BNF chapters reviewed by KM 19/02/2026
4. Created prodcode list by searching for BNF chapters
