Dear Helen,
I'd be very interested in how you get on. I can't see how to extract a
SNOMED-CT ID from RxNorm in the navigator, but I'm sure it can be done
from the dataset.
More generally, I'm interested why you didn't use drug names from
something like Pubmed (I'm sure there's a reason - I just don't know
what it is).
Thanks,
Matt

I checked RxNav and it is a good tool to get most of information we
needed for the COI test case.
I will check the mapping between RxNorm ingredients and SNOMED to see
how we can get the link between, for example "anticoagulants" to
detailed drug names in RxNORM.
Thanks for the pointer and good suggestions.
Helen

RE: [COI] CT#8 Drug Information Needed for Test Case Query
Helen,
Looking at RxNorm via RxNav _http://mor.nlm.nih.gov/download/rxnav/_
Here the brand names below can be mapped to ingredients.
Looking up the ingredients in SNOMED shows their classes.
So it seems that adequately combining the two can do the job.
Regards, Ronald

Eric
As a minimal requirement to get the test case working In the CT#8 [1],
we need to identify the following drug information. I did some text
search in your Medicaiton_DE.txt [2] file and found some examples of
drug names under each category
*
1. Metfomin, Insulin secretagogue, or Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors* *
drug names: *Metformin, Repaglinide, Gliclazide, Glipizide, Acarbose,
Miglitol *
2. Insulin therapy* *
drug names: *Aimsco Insulin Syringe, *
3. Rosiglitazone or Proglitazone* *
drug names: *Avandia, Actos *
4. corticosteriods treatment* *
drug names: *Prelone, Medrol, Deltasone, Kenalog, etc *
5. weightloss drugs* *
drug names: *Xenical, Meridia, Tenuate, Tepanil, Adipex-P, Fastin,
Phentermine HCl , etc *
6. nonsteroidal anti-inlammatory drugs* *
drug names: *Ibuprogen, Naproxen Sodium , Diclofenac Potassium,
Diclofenac Sodium, etc *
7. anticoagulants* *
drug names: *Coumadin, Plavix, Heparin, etc *
8. uricosuric medication* *
drug names: *Benuryl, Benemid, Probalan, Anturane *
*
Your Medication.DE file seems to contain drug name and package
information, but as you can see, there is no "drug" class relationship
that represents the above relationship. I doubt we can find such
categorization relationship in RxNorm.
For the demonstration purpose, we can construct a small "drug" ontology
to cover the above concepts and drug names.
But the ideal way is to use an existing and well developed drug ontology
for this purpose.
Does anyone on the list know such ontology?
Kind Regards,
