strength revisionstr_rev

A version or iteration counter tracking updates made to a drug strength record within the medication database, such as corrections to concentration values or unit of measure changes. Used in pharmacy and formulary management systems to maintain a change history for regulatory compliance and audit purposes.

strength riskstr_rsk

A risk classification associated with a specific drug concentration level, indicating potential for adverse events such as toxicity or underdosing. Used in clinical decision support and pharmacy safety systems to flag high-alert medication strengths requiring additional verification before dispensing or administration.

strength routestr_rte

The administration pathway associated with a drug strength, such as oral, intravenous, topical, or subcutaneous, which directly influences the appropriate concentration and dosage form. Used in pharmacy dispensing and medication management systems to ensure the correct formulation strength is matched to the prescribed delivery method.

strength scorestr_scr

A calculated numeric rating representing the relative potency, therapeutic index, or risk level of a specific drug concentration. Used in pharmacy analytics and clinical decision support tools to rank or compare medication strengths for formulary evaluation, safety alerts, or therapeutic equivalence assessments.

strength sequencestr_seq

A numeric ordering value that defines the ranked position of a drug strength among multiple available concentrations for the same medication. Used in pharmacy formulary and drug database systems to prioritize default strength selections during prescribing, dispensing, or medication reconciliation workflows.

strength severitystr_sev

A classification indicating the seriousness of clinical risk associated with a specific drug concentration, such as low, moderate, or high severity for overdose or subtherapeutic exposure. Used in pharmacy safety systems and clinical decision support tools to trigger dosing alerts and guide prescriber or pharmacist interventions.

strength sexstr_sex

The biological sex designation associated with a drug strength record, used when concentration recommendations differ by sex due to pharmacokinetic variation in absorption, distribution, or metabolism. Captured in pharmacy and clinical systems to support sex-specific dosing guidelines and safety rules.

strength sourcestr_src

The originating system, database, or organization that provided a drug strength record, such as the FDA NDC directory, RxNorm, First Databank, or Micromedex. Used in pharmacy and medication management systems to identify the authoritative reference for a concentration value and support data lineage tracking.

strength start datestr_start_dt

The effective start date from which a specific drug strength record becomes active within the pharmacy formulary or medication database. Used in pharmacy management systems to control formulary availability windows, manage NDC transitions, and ensure only currently approved drug concentrations are accessible during prescribing and dispensing.

strength start timestr_start_tm

The specific time at which a drug strength record becomes effective or a medication concentration order is initiated, used for time-sensitive dosing in acute care settings. Captured in pharmacy and clinical documentation systems to support precise medication administration scheduling and pharmacokinetic monitoring.

strength statestr_st

The U.S. state or jurisdiction associated with a drug strength record, used when formulary availability or regulatory approval for a specific concentration varies by state. Referenced in pharmacy systems to apply state-specific dispensing rules, controlled substance regulations, or Medicaid formulary restrictions tied to geographic boundaries.

strength statusstr_sts

The current lifecycle status of a drug strength record within the pharmacy formulary or medication database, such as active, inactive, discontinued, or pending. Used in pharmacy management systems to control which drug concentrations are available for prescribing and dispensing, and to track formulary change management workflows.

strength strengthstr_str

The actual numeric drug concentration value paired with its unit of measure, such as 500 mg, 10 mg/mL, or 0.25%, representing the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient per dosage unit or volume. Stored in pharmacy and drug database systems as the core attribute defining a medication's potency for prescribing and dispensing.

strength subtotalstr_subtot

The intermediate sum of drug concentration values calculated before applying additional components or adjustments in pharmaceutical records. Used in pharmacy data systems to aggregate partial strength values across compound formulations or multi-ingredient drug products prior to final totaling.

strength surgery datestr_surg_dt

The date on which a surgical procedure was performed, associated with a specific drug strength record in clinical or pharmacy data systems. Used to correlate medication concentration values with operative events, supporting perioperative medication management and post-surgical pharmacotherapy documentation.

strength targetstr_tgt

The intended or reference drug concentration level used as a clinical benchmark in pharmacy or medication management systems. Represents the desired therapeutic strength value toward which dosing adjustments are directed, supporting medication titration, compounding targets, and formulary reference standards.

strength taxonomy codestr_tax_cd

A classification code used to categorize drug concentration values within a structured pharmaceutical taxonomy. Applied in pharmacy data systems and drug databases to organize medications by their strength-related attributes, supporting formulary management, drug compendium lookups, and clinical decision support.

strength temperaturestr_temp

The temperature value associated with a drug concentration record, typically indicating required storage or preparation conditions for a pharmaceutical product. Used in pharmacy and medication management systems to ensure proper handling, stability, and compounding of medications at specific temperature thresholds.

strength termination datestr_term_dt

The date on which a specific drug concentration value or formulation is no longer active or valid within a pharmacy or formulary system. Used to manage the lifecycle of drug strength records, supporting formulary updates, medication discontinuation tracking, and historical drug reference data management.

strength timestr_tm

The specific time of day recorded in association with a drug concentration value, capturing when a medication strength was measured, administered, or documented. Used in pharmacy and clinical data systems to support time-sensitive medication monitoring, pharmacokinetic analysis, and medication administration records.
