Dose form group (TTY=DFG) is a term type that serves as a grouping of dose forms (TTY=DF) related by route of administration (i.e., Topical) or dose form (i.e., Pills). DFG, along with SCDG and SBDG term types, are meant to be used in medication application interfaces. Instead of users scrolling through a long list of drugs with many different dose forms, the DFG/SCDG/SBDG group dose forms for shorter, more manageable drug lists.
