Suspendieren oder Suspendierung?
When I googled 'suspendieren eines Arzneimittels' this is what I got:

Suspendieren bedeutet, dass man die Tabletten vor der Anwendung in etwas Flüssigkeit zerfallen lassen kann.

https://www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/fileadmin/Patienten_I...

Suspendierung (von lateinisch suspendere: aufhängen, in der Schwebe lassen) steht für: Freistellung (Arbeitsrecht), Aufhebung eines Arbeitsverhältnisses.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspendierung_(Begriffsklärung...

I know the source text means suspension but it confirms my opinion that the German source text is not well written.

Does the source text mean:

Can the drug be suspended as in mixing, the suitability of the drug for suspension or does the company offer their drugs as suspensions? It would be great to know exactly what they mean.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Mar 23, 2022:
Suspension - dissolution your link Barbara
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve, but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent, left floating around freely in the medium.[1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation, with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

Stuart and Aida Nelson Mar 23, 2022:
Solution, suspension, dissolution Thanks Barbara for the links. I know what a solution and a dissolution is. In addition, time is precious and there are people who do not always have time to look things up! So thanks, again.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Mar 23, 2022:
Barbara I am still of the opinion that this term is 'obscure' if you know what a linguist means with 'obscure'. I don't know if you are a linguist in the first place. I can only recall that you have studied chemistry because at some point in these months/years posting questions I saw your profile and registered in my mind the fact that you studied chemistry, which is great, don't get me wrong. I have studied translation and interpretation in Germany, thus, I am a linguist and in all humbleness, I am 'a doctor at heart'. I can say that in all humbleness, I also understand something about chemistry and therefore, I am confident, posting answers to medical/pharmaceutical/chemistry questions, even if you think they are wrong. In addition, I don't find it professional to tell us 'If you don't understand what a suspension is, why post an answer?'. You often post answers to legal questions and you are not a lawyer, for example, but I wouldn't dream to write something of the kind to you as you just did to us.

Stuart and Aida and everybody else.
This term is not obscure. It has nothing to do with dissolution either. If you don't understand what a suspension is, why post an answer?
Stuart and Aida Nelson Mar 23, 2022:
Suspendieren Is an obscure word IMO, I wonder if it means dissolving

Suspendieren der zermörserten Tabletten

No much time for research but maybe someone else can explain :)

(can the drugs be used as) suspensions


can the drugs be disperssed in liquid vehicles?

Suspensions are defined as finely divided undissolved drugs dispersed in liquid vehicles. They can be a ready-to-use liquid suspension or a dry powder reconstitutable suspension, which is dispersed in water by the patient, a caregiver or a pharmacist. Solutions are defined as liquid preparations in which the drug and the various excipients are dissolved in the suitable solvent or aqueous system.
