What does ā stand for in medical abbreviations?

Biology
2 answers:
lutik1710 [3]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The ā medical abbreviation means before.

Explanation:

The ā (<u>a with bar over it</u>, coming from the Latin word<em> "ante"</em>)

An example would be:

Omeprazole 40 mg/tab, 1 tab po od ā.am meal

Take 1 tab of Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before AM meal or breakfast.

But the use of <u>a.c. (before meals)</u> or <u>q.a.m. (every morning)</u> is more acceptable.

<em>"ante"</em> is used as a <u>prefix</u> to indicate <em>"before"</em> or <em>"in front of"</em> as in <u>antecedent </u>and <u>antique.</u>
