Where are the codes?

I have a problem. Any time I try to find the ATC code of a drug, I have to search the Google adding the active substance of the medication and the word ATC to find it. A colleague of mine told me that if I want the complete list from WHO I have to pay to buy it!!!

I found the following addresses in order to answer my question: "where are the codes?"
