Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Medicinal product name
German term or phrase: Erweiterte Bezeichnung des Arzneimittels
This term comes up in guidelines on naming medicinal products; the distinction is
between the name of the product and its "enlarged" or "expanded" name, as below:

Wie unterscheiden sich die „Bezeichnung” und die „erweiterte Bezeichnung” eines Arzneimittels?

My question is, is there an "official" English version of this term? I could not find any.
Thanks!
