      This information should not be in Medication, but rather in MedicationKnowledge.  It can already be reflected a part of the drugCharacteristic backbone element, so no change is needed.

    Description

      We consider important to store nutrition information related to a Medication. I understand this information is missing in Medication or in Substance resources.

      For example propofol, a common sedative in the OR/ICU, provides a significant amount of fats and calories.
