German term or phrase: Analgetika der St.3 n. WHO
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.
