    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.
