Dutch term or phrase: 1D1T MO

It is the 'MO' I am not sure about.
The context is a list of the cardiac patient's medication.
I think 1D1T is 1 tablet once daily, but am not sure about 'MO'.
The drug is enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide tablets.
I have found 'medicatie opdracht'/'medische opdracht' but am not sure how this would work in a list of medication. There are other cardiac-type medications listed, but none of the other ones have 'MO' written next to them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Barend,
It is based on my experience as a nurse.
The Latin abbr. you found are mainly used in med. papers, not patient reports etc.

No time to search for reference, deadlines to meet!

1D1T = éémaal daags 1 tablet.
Sorry, I forgot to state that in my answer.

I think the 1D1T bit indicates that the tablet is taken daily (1 tablet daily)

This may help. I've just had a chat with a mate of mine who is a doctor. He tells me that it is quite common for drugs for heart conditions to be taken MONTHLY. See: https://www.em-pass.com/file/v145678abejkuvwx/MedData demo.p... However, this would mean that 1D stands for 1 Dose and not once daily. Might be an idea to check with the client as it's drugs related. You could end up killing someone-:))

The list of medication is in a doctor's letter. I would hope that they were available on prescription from the pharmacy.

Feel free Phil, feel free! However, "Mail Order" seems to be quite possible and it is backed up by a credible reference.

I could be equally sarcastic about "mail order", but I won't.

Mondeling for tablets? Great idea, I usually stick them in my ear or underneath an eyelid!! How else would you take tablets??

Barend van Zadelhoff

Netherlands

mondeling

12:33 Sep 8, 2011

this would be highly unusual because this would imply an expression like:

u moet uw pillen mondeling innemen (incorrect Dutch imo)

'mondeling' pertains normally to vocal communication

actually I myself thought of 'Mondelinge Opname' as well, but rejected it

This link gives the abbreviations commonly used in medication.

MO according to them applies to drugs typically available by mail order.

Could make sense as this drug IS available on the Internet. It could also explain the absence of MO next to the other drugs.

This would also explain the use of capitals.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Barend van Zadelhoff: possibly, do you have a reference? / I find: m. et v. mane et vespere, not MO'/ it certainly fits into the context / I believe you but I translate these reports as well, never came across 'MO' but, still, you may well be right.

neutral

Dave Greatrix: Bit risky, imagine if a patient took a tablet every MOrning when they should be taking it MOnthly!

1 hr

-> Agree. Answering without the full context carries a risk, especially when answered by those not working in the field. However, this is based on solid experience as a nurse. FYI the tab is a diuretic and the 'normal' recommended dose is 1-2 tab once dai

agree

SJLD: perfectly logical

3 hrs

agree

Josephine Isaacs: I agree, and you do frequently see these Dutch abbreviations in patient records
