Hi all,
I am translating a leaflet for ear/eye drops...
I can't seem to find what "w/v" stands for...
Examples:
Eye/Ear Drops 0.3% w/v
Active ingredient is Gentamicin sulphate 0.3% w/v gentamicin base.
"Le principe actif est le sulfate de gentamicine 0,3 % w/v (???) base de gentamicine."
Thanks for your help

Discussion
I believe this ought to already be in the glossary, which ought to help you find the corresponding FR term. (cf. w/w and v/v, for example — it's where a dilution ratio etc. is expressed in terms of so many grams of substance for so many litres of substance, etc.)
