Mitte

[Yorkie580]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but...

I get a regular prescription of a drug called Lansoprazole. On the prescription it always states the number requireed, the dose and regularity. But the word Mitte is always in the description.

What does Mitte mean?

Mitte - Means send (or give). It is the amount to be dispensed as a number, weight or volume.

Some other abbreviations used in prescriptions are listed here.
