preparat
Hi,
I've seen the word medical preparat in many languages but not in English. It is even similar in Croatian. It has several meanings: 1) SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL COMPOUND WHICH IS TO BE TESTED,
2) CURE, MEDICINE
3) A SAMPLE OF DEAD MAN'S BODY ON WHICH STUDENTS OF MEDICINE PRACTICE.
Do you happen to know this word in English, because I cannot find translation.
Thank you

I cannot vouch for the piece of cadaver, but otherwise, the on-line dictionaries just translate it as preparation . Since it is Latin, however, it may be fine in English as well (among medicos and pharmacists). I have a vague memory of seeing the word on a prescription once or twice.

Preparat.
I think you can use the word without many qualms. I can find it used in English on foreign-based websites, some of them apparently highly-respected scientific organizations:
This site is the open public library of pharmaceutical preparats. A resource is created at support of U.S. National Library of Medicine and Nati
