This is more of a limitation of what the RXNORM UMLS dictionary provides 
(http://rxnav.nlm.nih.gov/).  They do provide tools such as RxNav which allows 
querying medications to see what is available.

Subject: DrugNER annotation

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why the DrugNER module excludes NACL or NACL 0.9% from 
the medication mentions.  I don't see it on the exclude list (and even so I've 
commented out most of the excludes in dictionaries/dictionary/excludeList for 
now).   Is it because NACL needs to be mixed with something else to be 
considered a medication?  Is there a way to look at what's included in 
GAZ_RXNORM?

Thanks
