Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
French term or phrase: complément de gamme
From a Pharmacist's CV.

The person has used the term "complément de gamme" several times. Seems to be a set expression in this field.

Examples:

Responsabilité des travaux de stabilité sur produits commercialisés: nouvelles présentations, compléments de gamme

Rédaction des parties pharmaceutiques des dossiers d'AMM pour actualisations de dossiers, compléments de gamme


No real hard context I'm afraid.

neutral  Robert Forstag: Perhaps this translation would work for some contexts, but not in the present text: no "produits" are mentioned as antecedents and, therefore, "additional products" would not make sense.
