GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:en association
English translation:in combination
Entered by: Wendy Cummings

Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / herbal remedies
French term or phrase: en association
A monography of various health supplements describing their source and uses. Nearly all of them start with:

Utile pour la complementation alimentaire et en association pour son action [e.g. sur les affectations renales/son action regulatrice]

I would normally read this as "being taken with another product" - but it doesn't specify which, just "en association", and I don't personally take any supplements so I don't know whether it is common to mix them with other things?

Thanks

disagree  Drmanu49: This is not a combination which has a special meaning in pharmacology (interacion of molecules to potentialize each other such as in tritherapy).

  -> No not necessarily in English this use is not as restricted as you are trying to make out
agree  Jack Dunwell

  -> Merci Fourth
agree  Eric BILLY: correct or "combined with" / Drmanu is probably meaning a "synergistic", "additive" or "potentializing" effect

combined, in combination?


Explanation:
an idea,... true that en association "tout seul" n'est pas évident, mais je pense que c'est une formule courante (par rapport à "seul") et que peutêtre in combination would be as.. fine as en association!!!:)
