Description

We keep coming across this issue. For data partners that have drug exposure data on the ingredient level . . . in ACHILLES some how acetaminophen gets associated to the “ingredient” of “ALKA-SELTZER PLUS COLD AND COUGH COOL MENTHOL - dextromethorphan hydrobromide, chlorpheniramine maleate, acetaminophen, phenylephrine hydrochloride capsule, liquid filled”. This Alk-seltzer is a classification concept - 44361362.

In my database I see it for another component, dextromethorphan

So the weird thing is, why does ACHILLES for this ingredient Drug Exposure – instead of mapping to itself, maps to this classification. Do you know what query is getting run here?
