Dear Carthy,

Please provide additional information, and I will try and give you a complete answer.

1. What are the full words you wish to shorten to an acronym?

2. Please indicate that quantity of the medication you wish to prescribe (e.g. one teaspoon, one table spoon, 5cc, 15ml, one ounce, etc.)

Does the patient speak English?

Sincerely,

Dear Mary D'

I was confused by your use of the word 'acronym'. My apologies.

I didn't relaize that you were looking for the abbreviation "1 sachet q.h.".

I thought you were looking for an acronym (e.g. RADAR for Radio Detection And Ranging, WHO for World Health Organization or JAMA for The Journal of the American Medical Association) for a set of words concerning electro

No problem, John.

I think abbreviations are common in all parts of the world but it is the necessity that arises in some cases to use them. In such cases, we can not escape the use of abbreviations. Those are very much in use in western nations. We always write it in english but sometimes must to do the work using acronyms.

Thanks,
