Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
Italian term or phrase: RDA
All I can think of for this is "Recommended Daily Allowance", which doesn't fit!

From nursing notes (it's a header):

RDA APPROVATO PER LA PRESCRIZIONE
XX/XX/XXXX - 01:45 *DOCTOR'S NAME*
ATORVASTATINA 30 CPR 40 MG, 2 cpr [orale]

Thanks!
