Medical - Medical (general) / pharmaceutical | | German term or phrase: XXXX (Drug name) 10mg 1-0-1 | When a drug and dose is indicated in a German (Austrian) text as follows:
[Drug name], 10mg, 1-0-1,
does the "1-0-1" signify one pill in the morning, none in the afternoon, etc., or am I completely off track (I often am)...? Is there a standard way to render this in English?
TIA for your help!

Here in the States, the Dr. would write B.I.D. on the prescription, which indeed means 2 times daily mornings and nights. Good luck! |

| Note from asker to answererHi, Many thanks!
FYI - the client just confirmted this. 1-0-0 means 1 in the morning. 0-1-0 means one in the middle of the day. 0-0-1 means one in the evening. Four numbers (0-0-0-1) means a final dose before bed.
