"...d' avoir pour effet une légère réduction de la prise de steroides Explanation: or " ...agir en réduisant légèrement la prise de stéroides" or: .. avoir pour effet une réduction limitée de la prise de stéroides" or "...avoir une action légérement réductrice sur la prise de stéroides" S o the entire sentence would read: " Ce médicament s'est avéré avoir pour effet une légère réduction de la prise de stéroides" The medical corpse and related professions like to stick to a certain type of sentences like "this drug has the effect of" even though the sentence could be amde lighter in French, so I think I would retain the "...avoir pour effet etc" rather than go directly to "ce médicament agit en.... (that would be a heavier statement) or ce médicament réduit la prise de..." , because the sentence "this drug has been shown to" is typically used when the drug is still quite new and some other action (better/worse, side-effects) may still have to be demonstrated in the future. experience +editing for a medical scientific journal Reference: http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane/revabstr/ab000391.htm |
