Abbreviations in the Pharmacy

Abbreviations are used in the pharmacy for just about everything and knowing what they mean is critical to filling a prescription accurately and quickly. There are abbreviations to cover just about everything. Unfortunately this blog will be a little dense... there's no "fun" way to write them up. The abbreviations are separated as follows:

• Time of Day
• Frequency of Administration
• Route of Administration
• Dosage Forms
• Dosage Size
• Diagnosis
• Miscellaneous Other Abbreviations
