Hello,
I am a pharmacist doing drug term mapping in Korea.
I found an error in using RxNorm and RxNorm Extension vocabulary and posted it on this forum.
It doesn’t seem the problems of RxNorm and RxNorm Extension itself (I think they don’t have a code for cimetropium),
but it seems that incorrect mapping from non-standard of KDC (Korean Drug Codes; cimetropium) to standard terminology (RxNorm; cimetidine). is it correct?
However, as it is not appropriate to link the clinical drug name (cimetidine) and the branded drug name (e.g. algiron) in RxNorm Extension, I thought this code name of RxNorm Extension should be modified.
Hi, thank you for finding this issue.
While developing RxNorm extensions for Korean drug codes, a single mapping mistake below seems to have caused all these related problems.
