Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Just a spontaneous 5 cents: influx is what flows in, I assume physiologically (so from the oral end) and reflux is flowing against the normal direction (eg reflux up the esophagus). But I feel like that is not really your question (?) and I could not help you with Spanish since it is not my first language. So just 1 cent worth in an attempt to help without too much context.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks to both who answered. The context is a consent form and the term appears in a list of potential side effects, so that is the limited context. kinory@... wrote: > About 1 cent: yes, that's correct, influx is always in and reflux is > always backwards.
