German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
German term or phrase: Vorläuferpräparat
Es gut um die neue Marktstrategie eines Pharmaunternehmens. Einzelne Elemente dieser Strategie des "explosiven" Marketings werden beschrieben.

"Im positiven Sinne „explosiv“ sind auch die Produkte, bei denen wir Vorläuferpräparate nicht nach- sondern besser gemacht haben."

Im Internet habe ich folgende möglichen Entsprechungen gefunden:

"Predecessor drug",

wollte mich hier aber nochmals absichern. Vielen Dank schonmal! :)

disagree  uyuni: This would either be a chemical used in manufacturing of other pharmaceuticals (*drug precursor*, rather...) or something similar to a pro-drug.
