Topic: Medication RxNorm Version

For Argonaut Medications, is there a specific release version of RxNorm that is expected to be used? I am asking because inferno is returning warnings for codes that we believe should be valid.
Eg. MedicationStatement.medication[x] has no codings from http://fhir.org/guides/argonaut/ValueSet/medication-codes. Codings evaluated: {"system":"http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm","code":"329498","display":"Albuterol HFA 90 mcg"}

We should accept codes from latest release -- but https://rxnav.nlm.nih.gov/REST/rxcui/329498/properties has a hint about what is going on. This code is for a semantic clinical drug component rather than semantic clinical drug. The expected value set does not include drug components.

Thank you. This is helpful.

Thanks for fielding this question @Josh Mandel -- didn't see this until now. It seems like it would be worthwhile for Inferno to make this a bit less opaque.
