Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Spanish term or phrase: en trámite
Buenos días, tengo que traducir una lista de productos que elabora un laboratorio (en Argentina) para Estados Unidos. El título de una de las listas es: LISTADO DE PRODUCTOS FARMACEUTICOS EN TRÁMITE

pending approval
Explanation:
The "trámite" is a request for approval. "In process" sounds as if it refers to the manufacturing process.

Explanation:
Although many of the examples found in an online search use a hyphen (in-process), IMHO that form is only correct/necessary when it precedes the noun (e.g. in-process monitoring").

  • In situations where there are many similar products in process, it is ...
