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

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

meta | Σ | 0..1 | Meta | Metadata about the resource
implicitRules | ?!Σ | 0..1 | uri | A set of rules under which this content was created
language |  | 0..1 | code | Language of the resource content Binding: ?? (required): IETF language tag for a human language
text |  | 0..1 | Narrative | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation This profile does not constrain the narrative in regard to content, language, or traceability to data elements
contained |  | 0..* | Resource | Contained, inline Resources
extension |  | 0..* | Extension | Extension
modifierExtension | ?!Σ | 0..* | Extension | Extensions that cannot be ignored
identifier | Σ | 0..* | Identifier | left: Business identifier for this medication; right: Identifier for the medicinal product, its generic representation, or packaged product (e.g. EMA PMS ID on product or package level)
code | Σ | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | left: Codes that identify this medication; right: A terminology-based code for the product (e.g. SNOMED CT code) Binding: ?? (example): A coded concept that defines the type of a medication.
status | ?!Σ | 0..1 | code | active | inactive | entered-in-error Binding: ?? (required): A coded concept defining if the medication is in active use.
marketingAuthorizationHolder | Σ | 0..1 | Reference(Organization) | left: Marketing Authorization Holder; right: Marketing authorisation holder of the medicinal product. If the product does not have a marketing authorisation, the manufactured information may be used. It is sufficient to populate only name and optionally an identifier of the organisation.
doseForm |  | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | Dose form. For a branded product, this would most likely be authorised dose form, but it could also be administrable dose form. For package items, it could be item's individual dose form. Binding: ?? (example): A coded concept defining the form of a medication.
totalVolume | Σ | 0..1 | Quantity | left: Total volume or number of package items inside a package.; right: 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.
ingredient |  | 0..* | BackboneElement | left: Active or inactive ingredient; right: Ingredient or a part product. For combination packs, each ingredient can be a separate manufactured item with its own ingredients, dose form, and strength
extension |  | 0..* | Extension | Additional content defined by implementations
modifierExtension | ?!Σ | 0..* | Extension | Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
item |  | 1..1 | CodeableReference(Substance | Medication (EU core)) | Substance (Substance resource or concept from terminology) or a medicinal product (Medication resource or concept from terminology). Medicinal product can be an ingredient in case of extemporal medications or combination packs (e.g Creme + 6 tablets) Binding: ?? (example)
isActive |  | 0..1 | boolean | left: Active ingredient indicator; right: Active ingredient indicator. By default, only active ingredients are expected - therefore, the default value is true.
strength[x] |  | 0..1 |  | Amount of substance in product (presentation or concentration strength) Binding: ?? (preferred): A coded concpet defining the strength of an ingredient.
strength[x]All Types |  |  |  | Content/Rules for all Types
