German term

Analgetika der St.3 n. WHO

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Prescription
Hello! I'm translating a German medical report and am having a hard time interpreting the abbreviations aroung the prescription of painkillers. The phrase is as follows:

"Analgetika ***der St.3 n. WHO*** (Palexia), Akupunkturserie, Chirotherapie..."

What can't figure out in the "der St.3 n. WHO".

Any ideas? Any help much appreciated!

Thanks.

If you check you will see that I was the first to agree with Johanna and had obviously recognized my error, but I don't believe in hiding a wrong answer - if I'm wrong, then I have to own up to it.
