SPC:
"Zur Überbrückung eines für die Retardtablette zu kurz dauernden Einnahmeintervalles und bei einem kurzzeitigen Spitzenbedarf ist die Kombination mit den überzogenen Tabletten von [drug XXX] zu 60 mg Wirkstoff möglich."
bei einem kurzzeitiger Spitzenbedarf= when short-term peak levels are required or when short-term maximum concentrations are required?
Does this sound right to you?
Thanks!

This covers it. To fill in the gap when the other one falls short.

momentary top requirements
would use: top requirements, momentary or temporary f. kurzzeitig
Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I don't believe "top" is idiomatic in this context. "Peak" and "trough" are terms that are usually used. |
Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
Cetacea
: Neither "top" nor "momentary" would ever be used in this pharmaceutical context.

for short-term/temporary peak relief/ for full peak benefits
Strictly speaking, "Relief" and "benefits" are not part of "Spitzenbedarf" but clearly connect the dots in this context.
Peer comment(s):

Cetacea
: I'd be very careful to "connect the dots" in a medical text.//Okay, once more: a drug that meets peak requirements doesn't necessarily provide peak relief/benefits. It might just make life bearable or cause parameters to approach normal.

I appreciate that my comment might have sounded too cocky. Still, elaborate on why this is not a fit in your opinion..//Okay, I am with you. Thanks!
