monodepot

English translation: single unit

Danish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / type of tablets
Danish term or phrase: monodepot
Tabletter (monodepot) er fremstillet således, at [aktivstoffet] frigøres langsomt

These are otherwise ordinary coated tablets, to be swallowed, taken with water etc. etc. with groove for breaking and so on.
Most of the active ingredient is absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Not capsules, gastro-resistant or anything like that.
I can only find this term in Danish, and have not found enough explanation to start searching in English.

Earlier references to the tablet in Produktresuméer and the like do not seem to use this expression.

So many thanks for any suggestions!

  -> Point taken, Chris - but wouldn't it also be the default in the original? If they have thought it necessary to specify "monodepot", who are we to decide that it shouldn't be translated?
