RxNorm March 2026 Monthly Release

RxNorm March 2026 Monthly Release. New Qualitative Distinction: Weight Management. NLM Tech Bull. 2026 Mar-Apr;(469):b1.

March 02, 2026 [posted]

The RxNorm March 2026 monthly release became available on Monday, March 2, 2026.

 

New Qualitative Distinction: Weight Management.

We have added a new Qualitative Distinction (Weight Management) to differentiate the anti-diabetic and weight loss versions of liraglutide products. Previously Victoza and Saxenda shared the same SCD: 3 ML liraglutide 6 MG/ML Pen Injector. The new QD applies to Saxenda and its related forms. SCDs and SBDs for other liraglutide products are unchanged.
