Описание: Prescription Abbreviations and Their Meanings – Description:
In medical practice, prescriptions often use standard abbreviations (mostly derived from Latin) to save time and space. These abbreviations indicate dosage, frequency, route of administration, and timing of medicines. Understanding them is essential for doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and patients to ensure correct drug use and avoid errors.

Examples:

OD – Once daily (from Omni die)

BD – Twice daily (from Bis die)

TDS / TID – Three times daily (from Ter die sumendum)

QID – Four times daily (from Quarter in die)

SOS – As needed (from Si opus sit)

HS – At bedtime (from Hora somni)

PO – By mouth (from Per os)

IM / IV – Intramuscular / Intravenous

In short: Prescription abbreviations are shorthand medical notations that guide how and when a patient should take medicines safely.
