Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Spanish term or phrase: A propósito de
This is the title of an article, "A PROPOSITO DE ANTIEPILEPTICOS GENERICOS"
Is there a term in English that is commonly used for this type of medical title, or should I just use the French, "A propos of generic antiepileptics"?

(nothing in this context)
Explanation:
Just give it the title "Generic Antiepileptic Drugs" and let it go at that.

"A propósito de" and its equivalents, whether in English, French or possibly even Chinese, adds nothing at all. Therefore, leaving it out subtracts nothing at all.

You maybe could say "Using Generic Antiepileptic Drugs" if that is the gist of the article, that would be innocent enough.
