RXNORM DATA CHANGES

Divigel Products Get Separate RXCUIs

Divigel is an estrogen topical gel product available in five different doses in single-use packets. Previously, only RXCUI 723526 with the fully specified name “estradiol 0.001 MG/MG Topical Gel [Divigel]” existed in RxNorm.

However, Divigel was split into five different concepts, each representing a different dose, starting with the December 2022 monthly release. The new concepts have quantity factors to distinguish each dose.

Below are the previous and new fully specified Divigel-related concepts.
