Description
EDIT: Please disregard the below statement, I misinterpreted the text.
The text:
"3. Quantified Drugs which are formulated as a concentration
Example: The Clinical Drug is Acetaminophen 250 mg/mL in a 5mL oral suspension. The Quantified Clinical Drug would have 1250 mg / 5 ml in the DRUG_STRENGTH table. Two suspensions are dispensed.
DRUG_STRENGTH The denominator_unit is either mg or mL. The denominator_value might be different from 1.
DRUG_EXPOSURE The quantity refers to a fraction or multiple of the pack.
In the example: 2
Ingredient dose= quantity x numerator_value [numerator_unit_concept_id]
Acetaminophen dose = 2 x 1250mg = 2500mg"
The example is 250 mg/ml, but the rest of the text states it is 1250mg. It should be 250mg. 1250 is an overdose and we don't want to accidentally give a toxic example for dose.
