Dear all,
What is the best Arabic equivalent for "prescription" in the following context:
"he has diabetes, he come every month to pick up his prescription."
يأتي ليأخذ وصفته الدوائية؟
Is that it? If so, doeas it mean that every month he takes new medicine? bec. iti doesn't make sense to me!
Thanks a lot.

دواء موصوف
"pick up a prescription" does not mean to pick up the paper thing, but the medication itself. In many cases, at least in USA, the doctor sends the paper prescription directly to your designated pharmacy. Upon their call, you go and pick up your prescription (i.e., medication), mostly through the pharmacy's drive though. You may be required to present an ID. The other option is to take your prescription from the doctor at the day of your medical visit.
