No. That version requires IFAP to transfer medication
records. It doesn't properly store them either but only
creates a SOAP note listing them.

The main new feature for 0.6 will be to allow proper
documentation of current medication with or without a drug
database (if there is no database one will have to enter
brand details and INNs oneself). The only supported drug
database for 0.6 will be Gelbe Liste, another German
database.

If you know of drug databases for your part of the world
which make it easy to get access to for development and
which make sense to implement because users can reasonably
easily get updates for them then that's something to be
considered once we've got the basic support done.
