1.0 StructureDefinition-medication-type

Extension: Medication Type [FMM Level 2]

This extension applies to the Coding datatype and provides a value to indicate a classification of the type of medication the parent coding. This is useful when there are multiple codings from the same CodingSystem at different levels/classifications.

Examples

Fluconazole Dose Based Medication

Paracetamol Generic Pack

Nexium Hp7 Brand Pack

Nexium Hp7 Combination Package with Product Parts

Clarithromycin 500mg Tablet Unbranded Product

Esomeprazole 20mg Tablet Unbranded Product

Amoxicillin 500mg Capsule Unbranded Product

Norvasc 10 mg Tablet Brand Product with Batch Details

The following examples have been taken from the National guidelines for on-screen display of clinical medicines information – January 2016 published by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care. Care has been taken with the clinical content in the structured data, and construction of narrative to be consistent with the guidelines:

Single active ingredient product: pack-based

Two active ingredients product

Product with four or more active ingredients
