RxNorm December 2022 Monthly Release

The RxNorm December 2022 monthly release became available on Monday, December 5, 2022 and includes five new concepts for Divigel estrogen products.

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.
