Hello Luis and dev team

When prescribing oral liquid medicines it might be safer to include the 
strength of the medicine in the 'medicine' description. 

Amoxicillin 125mg/5ml oral suspension

The dose and dose unit can then be descibed as the volume to be given/taken by 
the patient

5 ml

This is quite a complex prescribing situation and each clinic/hospital will 
need to decide how best to set up or amend their prescribing drug database with 
regard to prescribing liquid medicines.
