    Description

      I'm trying to use MedicinalProductDefinition to define the marketing, authorization and ingredients of a product. It is a single part product. It appears that I have to specify the following attributes and use the following chain of resources to express this:\\MedicinalProductDefinition
      -combinedPharmaceuticalDoseForm (put the form here?)
      -packagedMedicinalProduct => PackagedProductDefinition

      PackagedProductDefinition\\-packageItem
      --type (mandatory)
      --quantity (mandatory) (put 1 because this is a 'top-level' packaging?)
      --manufacturedItem => ManufacturedItemDefinition

      ManufacturedItemDefinition
      -manufacturedDoseForm (mandatory, so put the form here as well?)
      -quantity (mandatory)
      -ingredient => Ingredient

      That seems slightly convoluted, but I can work with that except for the mandatory elements I can default the quantities to 1, but I don't have a packaging type. Maybe we want to reduce the cardinalities of these attributes?
