Prescription Question...

[STi13]

I drive(race) for Subaru/Monster Energy Company...I was involved in a bad accident during a trial run. I suffered back and neck injuries, while recuperating, my doctor wrote me out a prescription and I wanted to know what the code stands for...(Symbols Missing)

Medication Name
tab po TID prn

What does the TAB, PO and PRN stand for?

He usually writes...
Medication Name
Sig TID

Thanks for everyone's time...Much appreciated !!!

TAB ..... tablet


PO ....... by mouth


PRN ..... as needed


TID ....... three times per day



So he's telling you to take a tablet by mouth three times per day (as needed only). The PRN means you can take less if tolerable, you don't HAVE to take it three times. Hope that helps. God bless.
