Each medicine has a permanent number, a UUID, and an ID in your account's ID profile.
Your ID profile
The id of every medicine you read is in your account's ID profile, such as MED-012933. GET /v1/meta names your profile.
Show the id to people. Store the uuid to match records: it is the key that never changes.
Look up by any ID
Get a medicine and Search accept an ID in any profile, an old ID, or the UUID. The answer always carries the medicine's current ID in your profile.
An ID is never reused: it always points to the same medicine.
