The medication prescription the doctor gave to my nurse to give to me on leaving the hospital has a sign, like a T with a dot over it. It has something to do with pills. Does anyone know exactly what this symbol means?
Thanks

Does it look like the sign for pie (the mathematical symbol)

No, not PI symbol. As I said, letter T with black dot over it

could be tid which means 3X daily but I am not sure cause I have not seen the script

It means ONE time

ONE does

OK

Oops sorry, it means ONE DOSE

Thanks

richka, the symbol T with a dot over it would mean one pill. A symbol for 2 pills would have 2 vertical lines crossed at the top with a horizonal line (like a double TT) and have 2 dots on top, 3 pills would be TTT with 3 dots on top. Then there would be a direction to take it daily (q.d.), twice a day (b.i.d.), three times a day (t.i.d.), or four times a day (q.i.d.), and/or at bedtime (h.s.), hope that helps.

Another symbol is a small "c" with a bar over the top and it means "with".
