## Union of http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/StructureDefinition/medication-eu-core and http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/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/StructureDefinition/medication-eu-core) and Medication (EU core) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/StructureDefinition/medication-eu-core). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them

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 | ?! | 0..* | Extension | Extensions that cannot be ignored
identifier | Σ | 0..* | Identifier | 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 | 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.
manufacturer | Σ | 0..1 | Reference(Organization) | 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.

amount | Σ | 0..1 | Ratio | Amount of the medication (for example, in a package or a vial)
ingredient |  | 0..* | BackboneElement | 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
