Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Prescription
Japanese term or phrase: 効能・効果
一般の人々に対して、薬局から出される処方薬の説明の中の「効能・効果」ですが、皆さんはどのように訳していますか？

ネットで調べると、例えば Effect and Efficacy という訳などが出ていますが、そういう場合には Efficacy という語は使わない、と英語のネイティブスピーカーに言われたことがあります。

その他にも色々な訳語が考えられますが、迷っています。皆さんはどのように訳しているか、教えていただければ幸いです。

よろしくお願いします。Thanks in advance.
