Medicine Nomenclature
What is the meaning of 'Forte' which is present in many medincine brand name ? For example there are medicines like Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, Becozyme C Forte , Enzar Forte etc. We can see all these end with Forte. I observed all these medications are combo medication. I guess Forte is nothing but 'Plus' . Is my understanding correct ?
PS : Please don't suggest consultation just to provide this information. If you are aware what does 'Forte' mean then share with me.
