When doctors write a prescription, they use abbreviations. Pharmacy Technicians need to be able to interpret what the doctor writes.
FIND the medicine information. Then, interpret the information to complete the chart below.
The drug name in manufacturer or generic format?
The doctor’s order for dosage amount (how much medication)?
The administration route (by mouth, IV, injection)?
The frequency with which the patient is to take the medication?
The duration, the number of days that the patient is to take the medication?
Sure! To answer your question, I need specific details about the prescription you have. Please provide the drug name, dosage, administration route, frequency, and duration from the prescription, and I can help interpret that information for you clearly.
