LIMICAN
Il principio attivo è ALIZAPRIDE CLORIDATO ma non riesco a trovare il corrispondente in inglese.
LIMICAN tra l’altro è il nome della medicina che si compra in Italia ma se lascio questo nome non penso che il lettore del referto medico / prescrizione medica capirà di cosa si tratta?Dovrei piuttosto tradurre il principio attivo, confermate? Grazie!
Oppure dovrei usare il termine ANTIEMETIC visto che si tratta in fondo di un Antiemetico?
Potrei tradurre : “ANTIEMETIC ( LIMICAN )” Cosa ne pensate?
In realtà stavo anche cercando conferma del mio ragionamento, oltre che il corrispondente in inglese .. Grazie!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

| THANK YOU BOTH! I AGREE! I do have a similar issue in a prescription where some of the meds listed are the brand name ( like MINTOIL PLUS adn PSYLLOGEL ). If I follow the same principle, I will keep the original names correct? Thank you again! Naomi H. |
