## Union of http://hl7.eu/fhir/base-r5/StructureDefinition/medicationRequest-eu-core and http://hl7.eu/fhir/base-r5/StructureDefinition/medicationRequest-eu-core

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles MedicationRequest (EU core) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/base-r5/StructureDefinition/medicationRequest-eu-core) and MedicationRequest (EU core) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/base-r5/StructureDefinition/medicationRequest-eu-core). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
