French term or phrase: pelliculé non séc
In a list of drugs the terms non séc. and séc keep appearing.

e.g.
TICAGRELOR- BRILIQUE* 90 mg Cp pelliculé non séc.
BISOPROLOL- BISOCE-GE* 2,5 mg Cp séc.

I can only think it stands for sécurité? but what would the EN be?

Many thanks for any ideas.

non séc. > non sécable
not pre-scored


Explanation:
I am sure it stands for 'sécable' (the kind of tablets that are pre-scored ready to be broken into halves or quarters) — but not entirely sure how this would normally be expressed in EN.

Please do try a gossary term search, as we have hed this term before and earlier answerers were more expert than I.
