InformationStructureDefinition.shortValues for short differ: 'Total volume or number of package items inside a package.' vs 'Total volume or number of package items inside a package. This element should not contain overall prescribed amount, but describe the product itself.

In case of complex packages, this element could be left empty, and number of different items could be indicated in the nested Medications.' vs 'When the specified product code does not infer a package size, this is the specific amount of drug in the 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.).'
