      The minimum recommended dose would be captured in the Dosage.doseAndRate.dosage.start.  That is the minimum dose that has been specified in this administration guideline.  Similarly dosage.end would be the maximum recommended dose.

    Description

      We need to indicate the minimal (recommended) dose per administration of a given medication. We could not find an element in Dosage.

      Our suggestion is to include a new element in Dosage (used in  MedicationKnowledge.indicationGuideline.dosage) called minDosePerAdministration (type Quantity and cardinality 0..1).
