So how to reme here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe mber HOW to spell it? I have a little saying which I learnt as a child: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * E is for ENVELOPE. A is for APPLE. StationEry with an E for Envelope. StationAry with an A for Apple. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The thinking behind this is that an a d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro pple sits still, so therefore is *stationAry*, and an Envelope is one piece of *stationEry* with an E. For more info, visit this page:
