Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Italian term or phrase: antichininica
This term appears in the following sentence:
"Inoltre dimetindene maleato ha dimostrato di esplicare una certa attività antichininica ed una modesta attività anticolinergica".
Has anyone come across this before? I can't seem to find anything in Internet. Chininica would appear to be quininic, but there are no hits for anti-quininic.
The sentence is from an SPC for an antihistamine.
