1 po means one by mouth (swallowed). Q is an abbreviation meaning every. 1 po q is an incomplete statement; normally, a time interval would follow the q, so that "1 po qd" is one by mouth daily, and "1 po q6h" means 1 by mouth every 6 hours.
PO stands for a Latin abbreviation that means "by mouth". So take the tablet; capsule; caplet by mouth. 1-2 day means take 1 or 2 a dayPRN is another abbreviation that stands for "as needed".The prescription should also list PRN number of hours between doses, such as q. 4 hrs; q. 6 hrs.; q. 8 hrs. (q. means every).Since this prescription as you copied it here does not list the hours, I would assume it means 12 hours in between doses.

q.d. is a Latin abbreviation for "quaque die," which translates in English to "every day" or "once daily." Daily dosages of medication can be given in a number of different modes.p.o. is a Latin abbreviation for "per os," which translates in English to "by mouth" or "by way of the mouth."A q.d. dose does not necessarily have to be given p.o.
The inscription is the portion of the prescription that specifies the medication. For instance, if I wrote: Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg #30 sig 1 po qd ref x3 Then "Hydrocholorothiazide 12.5 mg" is the inscription.
hora somni....before bedtime
This is medical shorthand for a prescription. Without abbreviations, this is "1 tablet q 12 hours per os". In plain language, this means take one tablet every 12 hours by mouth (orally, ie, swallow it).
