GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Trockensaft
English translation:powder for oral suspension, dry suspension

Medical - Medical: Health Care / Medicine
German term or phrase: Trockensaft
This is in the name of a medical product: XXX Trockensaft.
It is a dried substance which has to be diluted with water before it is taken by the patient. I have wondered about 'oral suspension' but have found other products by the same manufacturer which are actually called XXX Suspension. I do not normally translate anything medical so I do not have a medical dictionary and am hoping this is something very basic for specialists. I would be grateful for any input. TIA.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Stephen Sadie: how can powder be saft"?
2 hrs
  -> I guess in the same way as Trockensaft- you add water to it, as specified by the asker
agree  Anne Schulz: In product names (patient information leaflets, etc.), this is the appropriate equivalent -- in a more general sense (pharmacology), you can go well with 'dry suspension'.

  -> Thanks, a quick google comparison of the 2 terms in context should suffice. Inspissated, as interesting as it sounds, is something completely unrelated, IMO.
