Data Changes

With this release, RxNorm no longer round strengths for solid dose form drugs to three significant digits. For example, 'carvedilol 3.125 MG Oral Tablet' was rounded to 'carvedilol 3.13 MG Oral Tablet' in previous releases but will be represented in the unrounded form 'carvedilol 3.125 MG Oral Tablet' now. New drugs in the October release were not rounded. Previously rounded drugs will be updated over the next few months.
