Dear Francesca,

It has occurred to me that in this case perhaps it might be " persistenza "

(i.e., persistenza degli effetti nel tempo, riferita al fatto che ha una

longish hemilife)

check these out abt antagonists.

> Other AIIRAs?

> YYY?

> *Message executions*:

> xxx is the first AIIRA to have proven superior compliance versus all other

antihypertensive agents including all other AIIRAs.

> Are these messages like *the messages the study wants to get across* and

the executions the *explanations* by which they will try to sustain their

messages?

I'll pass on this one.

receptor antagonists). Do you know whether one exists?

Perhaps it does not: one uses " AIIRA " , or " antagonisti del recettore

dell'angiotensina II "
