Description
The Medication Type code system defines concepts in a classification scheme for medication coding. The classification scheme defines the nature of the properties defined by the code e.g. branded product with no strength or form. This allows the distinction between codes provided containing container, pack, strength and form explicitly especially where terminologies supplied are unknown or terminology services are unavailable.
