Jason, who is this directed at - professionals? GPs ? patients? Also, if it's a new drug and it's marketing doc, there should be some key messages coming over - what are these ?

médecine générale / general practice

From the context I'm really not sure, but the term "médecine générale" could fit. 'MG' crops up in many medical documents to mean this. See eg

"Le MG est le médecin de première ligne en pathologie pédiatrique ; dédramatiser la prise en charge pédiatrique en MG." from www.medgen.ulg.ac.be/documents_site_dumg/progenseig0506.doc

monoglycerides

I've seen MG used as an acronym for monoglycerides, not sure how "la pratique de [monoglycerides]" would fit in....
Peer comment(s):
neutral kashew : Yes, maybe: and there is a possible link "matière grasse" = MG too!?
