German term

Plv

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
MOVICOL Plv

This is listed under the 'Medikamente bei Austritt' section

I've seen examples of this online but am not sure if I should leave the Plv part in the English translation since I still cannot figure out what it means. I realize this is likely an easy question. Sorry!
Proposed translations (English)

agree casper (X) : I was taught in high school that abbreviations must always be spelled out in full the first time you use them in a text, but going by the number of abbreviations queried on KudoZ, it looks like this practice is no longer in vogue.

Indeed, that's my observation, too.
agree Lirka : when in doubt, google the product and voila!
