Ingredient.substance.strength
Element Id Ingredient.substance.strength
Definition

The quantity of substance in the unit of presentation, or in the volume (or mass) of the single pharmaceutical product or manufactured item. The allowed repetitions do not represent different strengths, but are different representations - mathematically equivalent - of a single strength.
