Dear Ohlbe,

❝ The draft FDA dabigatran product-specific guidance uses "free" to designate non-conjugated dabigatran and "total" for the sum of non-conjugated + conjugated dabigatran, measured after hydrolysis of the conjugates. I can live with "total", but "free" is a misnomer IMHO.

That’s not a misnomer, it is not even wrong. No chemists at the FDA? BTW, the correct term is ‘unconjugated’.
Reminds me on this ‘goody’.
