Thank you and Graham for your help.

All I know about the product in question is that it is presumably

granules since the name on these licensing document is XXXX YYYYY,

Granulat. It could well be presented in sachet doses - I hadn't thought

of that, really and the phrase in question does have a comma in it

" XXXXXXX ut ZZZZZZZ natricum sesquihydricum, **excipiens ad granulatum,

pro charta** "

I see according to my Latin dico. charta could be interpreted as

something of " fine paper " , possibly a small thin paper sachet.

More research needed if I have time

Margaret (wondering why on earth the Swiss have to go in for this

pseudolatin in this day and age)

" Charta " means " paper. " Divided powders ( " chartula " or " chartulae " )

have traditionally been dispensed in individual doses in folded

papers, known as " powder papers, " which were then placed in boxes.

There were strict rules for how to fold the papers to fit nicely into

the box. A detailed description can be found in Remington's

Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., pp. 1630-31.

It is likely that paper sachets are meant in your context.

Could it simply mean " q.s.p. " ?

Do you mean " pro " = " q.s.p. " ? I think " pro charta " refers to all the

ingredients in one sachet, not just to the excipient sufficient to

make the total weight/volume. In the latter case, " q.s.p. " (also

Latin, of course) would certainly appear. The comma also indicates

that the term refers to all of what precedes it. I'd say " per

sachet " or " per one sachet. "
