Standard drugs with non standard ingredients #540

Open marcel1334 opened 3 years ago

marcel1334 commented 3 years ago

I noticed lots of standard drugs having non-standard ingredients in the drug_strength table (for example 885 clinical drugs). If I understand correctly, this is not allowed.

1 example: drug 44097772 has ingredient 1306837 in the drug_strength table

Drug however has no relation with an ingredient. So this standard drug has no ingredient at all according to the hierarchy.

Alright, the one in question is a multi-vitamin preparation that points to Ubiquinone 5mg as clinical drug component (consists of) which again points at the ingredient Ubiquinone that you mentioned. That one has been replaced by ubidecarenone which is rather another less often used synonym (like Q-10 would be one) than actually a different ingredient. So, this is interesting and we need to figure out what went wrong. Thanks for pointing this out, @marcel1334! Tagging @dimshitc and @ekorchmar for investigation of this.
