Definition in Chinese

剂型是指药物制成的具体外形和给药方式的总称，表示药品如何制成以便服用或使用，例如片剂、胶囊、注射剂和外用剂等。jì xíng shì zhǐ yào wù zhì chéng de jù tǐ wài xíng hé gěi yào fāng shì de zǒng chēng biǎo shì yào pǐn rú hé zhì chéng yǐ biàn fú yòng huò shǐ yòng lì rú piàn jì jiāo náng zhù shè jì hé wài yòng jì děng

Word origin

剂 (jì, "medicinal preparation or dose") points to a prepared medicinal unit, while 型 (xíng, "type or form") marks its format, so the compound names a medicine's usable format.

Usage tips

  • On Chinese medicine labels, this term identifies a product category, not the medicine's strength or the amount taken at one time.
