Norwegian term or phrase: Enpac/Endos
This is a Summary of Product Characteristics and the terms appear in the following context: "Enpac:28stk. Endose: 49stk." I've never encountered this before and welcome some solid advice.

TIA

Explanation:
Don't know the English terms, Andy, but "enpac 28 stk" means that the package contains 28 units; "endose 49 stk" means that the package contains 49 units *wrapped individually*. I am no specialist, but would guess a typical "enpac" container to be a glass of pills, whereas an "endose" container would be for instance a blister pack.

Hope this makes sense.

/single-dose packet


Explanation:
I suggest this for 'Endose'. It means that each pill has alle the information about the product: name aso, batch no. + expiry date.
I do not know what to call the other one, but it means that all relevant info is on each packet, or on each 'aluminium' leaf of tablets.

Maybe you can read more about it at here: uib.no/farmasi - in Norwegian.
