MP Specific Comments
It is the intent of the CCDD formal names to always be unique. However, in this release there remains a few Manufactured Product concept formal names that did not generate uniquely following the CCDD Manufactured Product naming pattern as documented in the MP Formal Name Pattern section of the Editorial Guidelines. See below for an example:
02028174 | ACETAMINOPHEN, CAFFEINE & CODEINE (acetaminophen 300 mg and caffeine 15 mg and codeine phosphate 8 mg oral tablet) PHARMASCIENCE INC |
02025337 | ACETAMINOPHEN, CAFFEINE & CODEINE (acetaminophen 300 mg and caffeine 15 mg and codeine phosphate 8 mg oral tablet) PHARMASCIENCE INC |
This lack of unique formal names for the Manufactured Product is on the road map to be addressed in the future.
