Please check all the Models are registered in context

Example:

You have a Model like this

public class MedicineStrength
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int? MedicineId { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("MedicineId")]
    public Medicine Medicine { get; set; }

    public double Strength { get; set; }

    public int? MetricPrefixId { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("MetricPrefixId")]
    public virtual MetricPrefix MetricPrefix { get; set; }

    public int? UnitId { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("UnitId")]
    public virtual Unit Unit { get; set; }

    public int? MedicineTypeId { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("MedicineTypeId")]
    public virtual MedicineType MedicineType { get; set; }
}

Check all virtual Model instances are registered in in context like this

public class HMContext : DbContext
    {
        public HMContext()
        : base("name=HMContext")
        {
            Database.SetInitializer<HMContext>(null);
        }

        /// ... ///

        public virtual DbSet<Medicine> Medicines { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MedicineGeneric> MedicineGenerics { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MedicineStrength> MedicineStrengths { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MedicineType> MedicineTypes { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MedicineDosage> MedicineDosages { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MedicineCategory> MedicineCategories { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<MetricPrefix> MetricPrefixes { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Unit> Units { get; set; }

        ///...///
    }
