The term "q." in medicine means "every".
By implication, it means "once a week" "every week"... until the order ends.
So I might need to do foot soaks "q. week for 3 weeks".
On a prescription it means "every morning".
q is the medical abbreviation meaning every or each.
q AM is the medical abbreviation meaning "every morning."
qd=every daybid=twice a daytid=three timesw a daythat would be Q D, for once a day.Daily in medical terminology is abbreviated qd.odQ Dod
i po q am
It is part of a prescription, instructing 150mg of a drug to be given by mouth and then the q will be part of the dose frequency...for example qd = twice daily.
If it is on a prescription, the po means 'by mouth' and q means 'every'P isn't a normal medical abbreviation by itself
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.
The medical abbreviation for every four hours is q4h.q4h
While it may look like a "T", that figure is probably a stylized "1" used in prescription writing. In that case, 1 po q day means one daily by mouth.
"Q O Week" means once per week in the medical shorthand used for writing prescriptions. This is INCORRECT! It means EVERY OTHER WEEK! Lets try to not kill anyone here.
"po q AM" does not have a commonly recognized meaning. It may be a typo or abbreviation specific to a certain context or group.
