| MED\_EXCHANGED          | In the pharmacy, a medication can be marked as "substituted" in any case where the delivery differes in some way from the original prescription. For example, the VNR code may be different, but the supplied product differ only in terms of packaging type, such as a can being supplied instead of a blister pack. Therefore the delivery may be marked as "Medication substituted" even though medication has not been substituted with a cheaper alternative. The "Medication substituted" label may also appear in cases where the related prescription does not have a VNR code (i.e., the medication has been prescribed by its active ingredeint name). 0 = No, 1 = Yes. |

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.finngen.fi/finngen-data-specifics/red-library-data-individual-level-data/what-phenotype-files-are-available-in-sandbox-1/kanta-medication-delivery.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
