How to process a short description using NLP

I have a new upcoming requirement, where we have to process, a given description, in a transaction and process that, to break into pre-defined categories.

The description is a description of doctor prescription.

For example "Take 1 pill every morning for 30 days", "take 1 capsule twice a day for two weeks"

Note these description have to be broken down into categories say for eg. days, duration, repetition, type of drug, way of taking.

I am trying to use apache ONLP.

Please suggest how to move forward in this problem, so as to make this more accurate, as the solution has to be accurate.
