RXC segment

If the drug or treatment ordered with the RXO segment is a compound drug OR an IV solution, AND there is not a coded value for OBR-4-universal service ID, which specifies the components (base and all additives), then the components (the base and additives) are specified by two or more RXC segments. The policy of the pharmacy or treatment application on substitutions at the RXC level is identical to that for the RXO level.

required optional

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before RXC-2 and its value arrives as RXC-1, so the receiver stores Component Code as RX Component Type.

This page carries the RXC field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for RXC.
