Portuguese term
40 mg esa
Portuguese to English
Science
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Drug trials, leaflet for professionals (BR)
I am wondering if "esa" means every two weeks or has some other meaning. Throughout this 10 000 word document, the drug is always administered every 14 days. But here we are dealing with a table, and most entries in the table are abbreviated (e.g. pediatric = ped).
Does anyone have any experience with this word or symbol, esa?
Thank you in advance.

40 mg every other week/on alternate weeks
I think that "esa" stands for "em semanas alternadas", which translates into "every other week" or "on alternate weeks".
