Le terme «présentation de drogue nouvelle» (PDN) est à éviter, car «drogue» n'a pas le sens de «médicament» que le terme anglais «drug» peut avoir. En français, une drogue est soit une substance dont on fait un usage abusif à des fins non médicamenteuses, soit la matière première de certains médicaments. Toutefois, Santé Canada emploie «présentation de drogue nouvelle», et les fabricants peuvent être obligés de l'utiliser afin de se conformer aux exigences du Règlement sur les aliments et drogues. 1, record 2, French, - pr%C3%A9sentation%20de%20nouveau%20m%C3%A9dicament

Patterns of interaction, in this context, involve attenuation, no-effect and/or amplification by a third entity, the modulator, of the effect of an actor upon the reactor.
