Doctor’s Prescription 101
January 28th, 2009 -- Posted in Doctors | No Comments »A doctor’s prescription is a written order involving the medication that you have to take for your certain medical condition. Most prescriptions are written in Latin abbreviations that medical practitioners use as their shorthand method of writing. Often times most people take for granted their prescriptions. Every year almost 100 people die because of misunderstood prescriptions. Understanding your prescription would help you know what you really need.
Your prescription is not only about your doctor’s custom rubber stamp signature. The things that you must take note in your prescription is the name of the medication, the dose, how often to take the medication, when and how to take it. You may understand the way your doctor writes. The best that you may do is to ask your doctor directly what your prescription say and means. Take note of the name of the medication, what it does to help you and its effects. With this you may check when the pharmacist at the drugstore gives you the medicine.
