Prescriptions: The Basics
Each prescription has four parts:
- Superscription: The heading where the symbol R or Rx is located.
- Inscription: The area of the prescription that contains the names and quantities of the ingredients or drugs.
- Subscription: The directions for compounding or mixing the drug.
- Signature: Often preceded by the sign "s," this is the portion of the prescription that gives the directions to be marked on the bottle, vial, or container.
Physicians are notorious for having illegible handwriting. While you may not worry about having to read their notes in your medical chart, you may be more worried about a pharmacist being able to read their prescriptions for you. Once you get your prescription, you may not understand all of the abbreviations and notations on the label. If you don't, you might find the following glossary helpful:
a.c.: before meals, from the Latin "ante cibum"
ad lib: use as much as one desires, from the Latin "ad libitum"
b.i.d.: twice a day, from the Latin "bis in die"
da or daw: dispense as written.
gtt.: drops, from the Latin "guttae"
pc: after meals, from the Latin "post cibum"
p.o.: by mouth, or orally, from the Latin "per os"
p.r.n.: when necessary, or as circumstances require, from the Latin "pro re nata"
q.d.: once a day, from the Latin "quaque die"
q.i.d.: four times a day, from the Latin "quater in die"
