[Gnumed-devel] Consumable substances

[Jim Busser]

The data set provided by vbanait has been appreciated… it has supplied ~ 375 
distinct substances (out of a total of ~ 500 substance-strength combinations), 
without atc codes though.

A much larger set is achievable by combining Health Canada and FreeDiams 
resources:

- 1795 distinct substances (1232 distinct ATC codes )
- 6357 distinct substance / strength combinations (of which 3772 have an ATC 
code) available in Canada
- Canadian substance names (e.g. acetaminophen) could be translated to one of 
the available INN names (e.g. in english = paracetamol).

The file size would be just over a megabyte.

Is this anything wanted?
