Description

@AlexMikhalev

Summary

Use RxNorm vocabulary from UMLS for brand-to-generic drug mapping, dosage form normalization, and ingredient extraction.

Details

  • Clinical text often uses brand names (Keytruda) vs generic (Pembrolizumab) interchangeably
  • RxNorm provides canonical drug concept hierarchy: ingredient -> clinical drug -> branded drug
  • Improves entity extraction accuracy for varied drug name mentions
  • Enables dosage form awareness (tablet vs injection vs topical)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Parse RXNCONSO and RXNREL from UMLS RxNorm subset
  • Build brand-to-generic mapping table
  • Integrate normalization into entity extraction pipeline
  • Test with drug name variants in evaluation cases
