Biomedical Research and Regulation Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Anonymous Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

An ingredient of a manufactured item or pharmaceutical product.

A material used in the preparation of a medicinal/pharmaceutical product, within the context of a particular use.

An ingredient is part of a product, either alone or in combination with other ingredients. It is essentially a substance with the addition of the specific role it is playing in the product, which may include whether it is an active or inactive substance and what the stength is (the quantity of substance compared to the whole product). The ingredient is represented in the context of a given product, because its role and strength are a function of what it is used in. It is expected that the same substance used in a different role, or with a different strength, would be a different Ingredient resource instance. Resource instances may however be shared by very similar products (e.g. different pack sizes of the same "product").

This resource is referenced by AdministrableProductDefinition, ManufacturedItemDefinition and MedicinalProductDefinition.

This resource does not implement any patterns.
