Case | Define the ingredient list | Step 1: Identify ingredient RxCUIs | Step 2: Expand ingredients to product RxCUIs | Step 3: Inspect route and dose-form information | Step 4: Filter to oral products | Step 5: Map oral product RxCUIs to active NDCs | Quality-control checks | Confirm the observed routes | Look for non-oral terminology in product names | Review combination products | Check products without active NDCs | Summarize the final definition | A compact alternative with search_drug() | Adapting the workflow | Filter by route during product expansion | Exclude fixed-dose combination products | Include historical RxNorm concepts and NDC associations | Finalizing a route-specific medication definition
