Dutch term

erkingsmechanisme

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Instruments
Goede middelen, recent nieuw middel met nieuw erkingsmeschanisme voor hypertensie.

I'm translating customer survey responses, customers have to state why they use a particular drug company. No further context, just lots of separate responses.

All thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks so much Ron - sometimes the answer is staring you in the face..... :)
Ron Willems Dec 9, 2009:
that's another typo :-) (they mention "werking" themselves on the page)
LAB2004 (asker) Dec 9, 2009:
Typo? I had wondered if it was a typo and looked at werkingsmechanisme. I did find an example of erkingsmechanisme though and just wondered if I was missing something:
