Explanation:
Ich nehme an, dass es sich um eine verlangsamte Wirkung handelt, da Retigabin meines Wissens nach bei Epilepsie gegeben wird, und wohl langsam vom Koerper aufgenommen wird.

Thanks for your help. It may indeed mean this, although the client has since told the agency I am working for, that it stands for 'Verification Report', which I doubt... Anyway, I appreciate your support! (I am still in the dark as to what the 'zf.' stands for.)
