Definition of Medication KnowledgeInformation about a medication that is used to support knowledge.
codeCode that identifies this medicationA code that specifies this medication, or a textual description if no code is available. Usage note: This could be a standard medication code such as a code from RxNorm, SNOMED CT, IDMP etc. It could also be a national or local formulary code, optionally with translations to other code systems.Depending on the context of use, the code that was actually selected by the user (prescriber, dispenser, etc.) will have the coding.userSelected set to true. As described in the coding datatype: "A coding may be marked as a "userSelected" if a user selected the particular coded value in a user interface (e.g. the user selects an item in a pick-list). If a user selected coding exists, it is the preferred choice for performing translations etc. Other codes can only be literal translations to alternative code systems, or codes at a lower level of granularity (e.g. a generic code for a vendor-specific primary one).
statusactive | inactive | entered-in-errorA code to indicate if the medication is in active use. The status refers to the validity about the information of the medication and not to its medicinal properties..This status is intended to identify if the medication in a local system is in active use within a drug database or inventory. For example, a pharmacy system may create a new drug file record for a compounded product "ABC Hospital Special Cream" with an active status. At some point in the future, it may be determined that the drug record was created with an error and the status is changed to "entered in error". This status is not intended to specify if a medication is part of a particular formulary. It is possible that the drug record may be referenced by multiple formularies or catalogues and each of those entries would have a separate status.
manufacturerManufacturer of the itemDescribes the details of the manufacturer of the medication product. This is not intended to represent the distributor of a medication product.
doseFormpowder | tablets | capsule +Describes the form of the item. Powder; tablets; capsule.When Medication is referenced from MedicationRequest, this is the ordered form. When Medication is referenced within MedicationDispense, this is the dispensed form. When Medication is referenced within MedicationAdministration, this is administered form.
amountAmount of drug in packageSpecific amount of the drug in the packaged product. For example, when specifying a product that has the same strength (For example, Insulin glargine 100 unit per mL solution for injection), this attribute provides additional clarification of the package amount (For example, 3 mL, 10mL, etc).This is the quantity of medication in a package. To specify the strength of the medication, the Ingredient.strength attribute is used.
synonymAdditional names for a medicationAdditional names for a medication, for example, the name(s) given to a medication in different countries. For example, acetaminophen and paracetamol or salbutamol and albuterol.

regulatory.maxDispense.quantityThe maximum number of units of the medicaton that can be dispensedThe maximum number of units of the medicaton that can be dispensed.
regulatory.maxDispense.periodThe period that applies to the maximum number of unitsThe period that applies to the maximum number of units.
kineticsThe time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of a medication from the bodyThe time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of a medication from the body.
kinetics.idUnique id for inter-element referencingUnique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
kinetics.extensionAdditional content defined by implementationsMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions.

kinetics.modifierExtensionExtensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognizedMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions.

kinetics.areaUnderCurveThe drug concentration measured at certain discrete points in timeThe drug concentration measured at certain discrete points in time.
kinetics.lethalDose50The median lethal dose of a drugThe median lethal dose of a drug.
kinetics.halfLifePeriodTime required for concentration in the body to decrease by halfThe time required for any specified property (e.g., the concentration of a substance in the body) to decrease by half.
