    Why don't you ask your doctor? Or the pharmacist when you take it to get it filled?

    T with a dot over it = take one

    po = per os
    tid = ter in die
    prn = pro re nata

    These are directions (in Latin) that the pharmacist will write in English on the label so you know how and how often to take the med.

    It means: take one tablet, by mouth three times a day as needed
