Mileena  +  165066 Thu, 01 Dec 05 10:43 PM I have studied the apothecary system, and notice they use roman numerals on prescriptions to indicated the number of tablets or capsules in the signa, such as iii po BID Alos, some doctors do: TTT po BID (for three tablets twice a day by mouth) But I notice most doctors, when they write a script and use "T" for tablet, but they also add a special symbol on top of the "T". Some doctors put a quotation mark on top of it: " T While others use something like a grave accent: ` T Does anyone know what these mean? I've seen other strange symbols too. Thanks!

I have since learned that the dots/apostophes/whatever on top of the "T"'s simply are meant to reinforce the number of "T"'s:                 ' Take one: T                 ' ' Take two: TT                    ' ' ' Take three: TTT 12, as in 12 refills, would be:     ' ' XTT Mileena
