French term

sous avis médical

Non-PRO French to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi all

Is there a succinct way of translating “sous avis médical” in sentences like:

Vu le risque d’une diminution des taux des leucocytes lors de l’administration concomitante de paracétamol et d’AZT, leur administration simultanée se fera uniquement sous avis médical.

Ne pas administrer au-delà de 2 à 3 jours sans avis médical.


I am sure I once knew the perfect phrase in English but my memory is failing me today...

Thanks for input!

Andy

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

In this case, drug interaction, more than advice is needed. It requires supervision or monitoring.

under medical advice

Sometimes, although only under medical advice, switching medicines may be recommended. A provocative medicine (for example, codeine, which is more likely to cause medication-induced headache) is replaced by a less provocative one (such as ibuprofen).
