Could it mean something like oral rather than topical or some other kind of medication, oral prescription?

[wiltsman]

daginge is correct. Ophthalmic use only.

thanks muchly!! seeing as it some form of scalp shampoo it sounds about right!

A prescription needs to show the dose as well as content. 'opd' is 'once per day' but I wouldn't be surprised if that got shortened to 'op'.

[whiskeryron]

ketoconazole ophthalmic.

'OP' can also mean 'original pack'. Where on the prescription is the 'op' written? As part of the directions, or elsewhere?
