Drug should inherit from Product

[MatthiasWiesmann]

The Drug object should inherit from Product, as clearly these are Any offered product or service. In particular, the following Product attributes are relevant for Drugs:

• gtin – NDCs are mapped into GTIN space, and many countries have special GTIN ranges for drugs.
• releaseDate
• countryOfOrigin
• offers

The following attribute are already present in both objects:

• manufacturer

Seems like a good idea

Looking through the type drug, I see that we have several warning properties, we might want to consider the following:

Off label uses: (some drugs are approved for one malady and then found to be helpful with others) Contraindications: (known problematic symptoms specific to the drug) Blackbox warnings: (Generally FDA where the side effects can be worse than the disease itself)

Generally, when somebody is sick, they are not up to digging through mountains of resources to obtain the type of information above.

Added Pull Request #3094 that implements this. Also made DietarySupplement inherit from Product, for the same reasons.

This issue is being nudged due to inactivity.
