GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:10-mg-tablet product
German translation:10-mg-Tablette

English to German translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: 10-mg-tablet product
From a PIL:

"If lower doses are required, the 10 mg tablets product is more suitable option. The 10 mg tablets can be divided into equal halves of 5 mg."

The above English is poor, I know. However, even if we make it into:

"If lower doses are required, the 10-mg-tablet product is a more suitable option. The 10-mg tablets can be divided into equal halves of 5 mg."


....the question remains whether the following sounds too off in German: "Wenn niedrigere Dosen erforderlich sind, ist das 10mg-Tablettenprodukt eine geeignetere Option."

Or is there a better solution?

Thank you!

Lirka, wie dem auch immer sei, das Englische ist auch nicht gerade berauschend. Trotzdem würde ich es so ausdrücken, wie in meiner Antwort angegeben ist.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Edith. I know "Produkt" can be left out, but I wanted to know whether the "Tablettenprodukt" sounds as odd in German as it does in English. Sometimes, German likes such compound words, that's why I wasn't sure... Also, I believe that the English version was created from a German version (of a related product), so there must have been a word of this kind in the German version.
