Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: sous avis médical
Hi all

Is there a succinct way of translating “sous avis médical” in sentences like:

Vu le risque d’une diminution des taux des leucocytes lors de l’administration concomitante de paracétamol et d’AZT, leur administration simultanée se fera uniquement sous avis médical.

Ne pas administrer au-delà de 2 à 3 jours sans avis médical.


I am sure I once knew the perfect phrase in English but my memory is failing me today...

Thanks for input!

I went with this - although a direct translation would be "under medical advice" I think this is the best translation

Explanation:
Sometimes, although only under medical advice, switching medicines may be recommended. A provocative medicine (for example, codeine, which is more likely to cause medication-induced headache) is replaced by a less provocative one (such as ibuprofen).
