MedicationRequest profile may need to allow multiple dosageInstructions

We have example from LPT of a MedicationStatement (soon to be converted to MedicationRequest) where there are 4 dosage instructions. The example is for WARFARIN to be taken 4 days in a row at different doses: 1mg, 2mg, 1mg, 2mg


                        "dosageInstruction": [
{
"text": "1 mg Evening on the date of 15/01/2024 (Day 1) [INR Target 1-3]",
"route": {
"text": "Oral"
}
},{
"text": "2 mg Evening on the date of 16/01/2024 (Day 2) [INR Target 1-3]",
"route": {
"text": "Oral"
}
},{
"text": "1 mg Evening on the date of 17/01/2024 (Day 3) [INR Target 1-3]",
"route": {
"text": "Oral"
}
},{
"text": "2 mg Evening on the date of 18/01/2024 (Day 4) [INR Target 1-3]",
"route": {
"text": "Oral"
}
}
],
"note": [
{
"text": "Evening on the date of 15/01/2024 (Day 1) [INR Target 1-3], (discharge medication)"
},{
"text": "Evening on the date of 16/01/2024 (Day 2) [INR Target 1-3], (discharge medication)"
},{
"text": "Evening on the date of 17/01/2024 (Day 3) [INR Target 1-3], (discharge medication)"
},{
"text": "Evening on the date of 18/01/2024 (Day 4) [INR Target 1-3], (discharge medication)"
},
{
"text": "GP Yes"
}
]


I suppose we could concatenate but seems wrong. The portal panel will need to cope with these. What do you think?
