f.f.

español al inglés Medicina Medicina: Farmacia
These two little letters appear after the name of a drug in a letter that I'm translating. The letter talks about testing the medication:

"...realizar las determinaciones de valoración y actividad del producto [xxx] f.f. Suspensión Inyectable, Registro No. xxx ... etc."

I don't think the Navarro Repertorio de Siglas Médicas has this one. What do these two little letters stand for and how would I write and abbreviate it in English?

Gracias por la ayuda.

Dosage form (DF)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosage_form

A dosage form (DF) is the physical form of a dose of a chemical compound used as a drug or medication intended for administration or consumption. Common dosage forms include pill, tablet, or capsule, drink or syrup, aerosol or inhaler, liquid injection, pure powder or solid crystal (e.g., via oral ingestion or freebase smoking), and natural or herbal form such as plant or food of sorts, among many others. Notably, the route of administration (ROA) for drug delivery is dependent on the dosage form of the substance in question.
