Defines the medication resource for a component of a ‘Kombipackung’ for the Medication Service in the ePA system. These profiles are intended to inherit from EPAMedication, but due to tooling issues, this inheritance cannot currently be implemented.

Usages:

- Use this Profile: EPA Medication
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: EPA Capability Statement für Clients des ePA Medication Service and EPA CapabilityStatement für den Medication Service
