<a id="AdministrableProductDefinition.formOf"></a>

## AdministrableProductDefinition.formOf
References a product from which one or more of the constituent parts of that product can be prepared and used as described by this administrable product

**Definition:** References a product from which one or more of the constituent parts of that product can be prepared and used as described by this administrable product.  If this administrable product describes the administration of a crushed tablet, the 'formOf' would be the product representing a distribution containing tablets and possibly also a cream.  This is distinct from the 'producedFrom' which refers to the specific components of the product that are used in this preparation, rather than the product as a whole.

**Definition:** The dose form of the final product after necessary reconstitution or processing. Contrasts to the manufactured dose form (see ManufacturedItemDefinition). If the manufactured form was 'powder for solution for injection', the administrable dose form could be 'solution for injection' (once mixed with another item having manufactured form 'solvent for solution for injection').

<a id="AdministrableProductDefinition.producedFrom"></a>

## AdministrableProductDefinition.producedFrom
Indicates the specific manufactured items that are part of the 'formOf' product that are used in the preparation of this specific administrable form

**Definition:** Indicates the specific manufactured items that are part of the 'formOf' product that are used in the preparation of this specific administrable form.  In some cases, an administrable form might use all of the items from the overall product (or there might only be one item), while in other cases, an administrable form might use only a subset of the items available in the overall product.  For example, an administrable form might involve combining a liquid and a powder available as part of an overall product, but not involve applying the also supplied cream. For consistency, it is acceptable to refer to the manufactured item in all cases - from complex many-to-many to simple one-to-one cases - even when there is no transformation or combining involved between the manufactured form and the administrable form. For example an oral solid tablet is usually administered without any transformation or combination, but the administrable form can still be represented as 'producedFrom' the single manufactured tablet.
