OBS

Selon un traducteur de la compagnie qui fabrique ce produit, ledit "driving agent" absorbe les liquides biologiques, prend de l'expansion et, ce faisant, chasse le médicament qui se trouve dans l'autre couche. Toujours selon cette personne, le terme "excipient osmotique" est suffisant.

OBS

excipient : Substance ou mélange de substances inactives par elles-mêmes, qui facilitent la préparation et l'administration d'un médicament.
