Excipient QSP

English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Summary of Product Characteristics
This comes from an SPC under the title "Active Substances and Other Ingredients". There is a list of the ingredients and one of them is "Excipient QSP". I was wondering what QSP stands for.

You're right, sorry about that! It must have shown up at the same time as I was writing the above note. Thanks!
Isodynamia (asker) Apr 6, 2006:
Thank you for your note, Janet. I thought I already entered it :)

Thank you Constantina! May I suggest you enter this as a glossary term. I myself had some trouble at one time with this term and would've been grateful for the help. It is fairly common. : )

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to both Janet, Rachel and all! This makes good sense since the company marketing the product is French. My text must have been a translation from French and this abbreviation was forgotten in there :) Thanks again!"
