Romanian term or phrase: tableta supra incapsulata
I'm leaning towards double-wrapped, but the translation I'm editing has "supra-encapsulated", and it ust jdoesn't sound right. The original in Romanian is "sub forma unei capsule oarbe (adică o tabletă supra-încapsulată)". Help?

onver-encapsulated tablet
Explanation:
"Double wrapped" ar corespunde "cu dublu înveliş", dar supra-încapsularea este o procedură diferită, vezi mai jos:

Over encapsulation is a four step operation:
Opening the capsule
Introducing the tablet into the capsule
Filling with excipient(s)
Closing the capsule"

blind capsule/blind challenge


Explanation:
I would like more context, but as far as "capsula oarba" goes, it sounds like we are having a "double challenge" situation, where somebody gets tested on something like an allergy, for example.
The patient is given two capsules. One of them contains the alleged food he/she is allergic to, the other one contains nothing, it is like a "placebo", it is a "blind capsule".
"This is oral food extract in capsules so that neither patient nor medical personnel administering it knows which capsule is containing food, respectively placebo (not containing allergenic). This ensures the objectivity of testing, eliminating the psychological influence."

Example sentence(s):
  • "The patient was given a "blind challenge" test, with two capsules, one having the allergenic and the other one placebo"

agree  Maria Diaconu: corect, dar nu este traducerea care s-a cerut, în context ar fi "given in the form of a blind capsule (i.e. over-encapsulated tablet)"
