German term

Verum-Depot-Dragée

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Obstetrics
Die Dosierung betrug jeweils 2 x 1, 2 x 2 und 3 x 2 Dragées täglich, und zwar vom Tage der Entbindung an, insgesamt an 8 Tagen. Spezielle Plazebo-Dragées und Einstoffdragées (Coumarin bzw. Troxerutin enthaltend), die sich äußerlich nicht von dem **Verum-Depot-Dragées** unterschieden, standen zur Verfügung und wurden in entsprechender Dosierung verabreicht. Weder die Patientin noch der Arzt oder das Pflegepersonal konnten also erkennen, ob es sich um ein Plazebo oder um die Verumform handelte (Doppelblindversuch)

There are three groups of patients in this trial. One group receives a (coated) tablet containing a placebo, the second receives a tablet containing one of the active compounds coumarin or troxerutin and the third group receives the trademarked tablet that combines both these compounds. It is the trademarked tablet that is being referred to as the Verum-Depot-Dragée.

How do I express this in English?

study drug (coated prolonged-release tablets)


...I would put it that way:
study drugs = Verum
prolonged-release = Depot
coated tablet = Dragee
