## Union of http://ig.fhir.de/igs/medication/StructureDefinition/DosageDE and http://ig.fhir.de/igs/medication/StructureDefinition/DosageDE

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Dosage DE (http://ig.fhir.de/igs/medication/StructureDefinition/DosageDE) and Dosage DE (http://ig.fhir.de/igs/medication/StructureDefinition/DosageDE). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
