The model covers usage instructions for administering a medicinal product, focusing on the most frequently used data elements. More complex dosage schemes may require additional elements, which should be communicated as part of the rendered dosage instructions element.

Full dosage information as human-readable text covering all dosage steps. Generating the text follows local rules and should include all locally implemented dosage data even when such elements are not present in this model.

Details of single dosage scheme step

Order of the dosage instruction, in case one treatment consists of several dosage steps. When two schemes share the same sequence number, they are meant to be running in parallel.

Patient oriented instructions as free text for this dosage step

Amount of medication administered per one dose (= one timing)

Amount of medication per one dose. (1 tablet, 2-3 tablets, 20ml)

UCUM (units of measurement), EDQM Standard Terms (units of presentation)

Amount of medication per time period (e.g. 100mg per 1 hour). When rate is provided per 1 time unit, Quantity data type can be used with a suitable unit (e.g. mg/h, ug/min).

UCUM (units of measurement), EDQM Standard Terms (units of presentation)

Repetition of the administration.

Time bounds for the treatment (current dosage scheme), Quantity contains a number of time units (e.g 10 days), Period contains start and end date (e.g. 05.08.2023 - 10.08.2023).

UCUM

Duration of administration (e.g '5 minutes', '1 hour')

UCUM

Frequency of intake/administration (e.g 'three times a day')

Number of times per period (e.g '3 times')

Duration to which the frequency applies (e.g '... / 1 day')

UCUM

The day of the week of administration, e.g Mon, Tue, etc

Exact time of day of administration (e.g '10:00')

Time period or event when the administration should happen ('before meal', 'immediately', 'morning')

Take as needed
