Maybe he is trying to say incontinencia and following it with fluvio, which could be translated stream. But I do not see that this is correct Latin use.

Subject: "per os" is the Latin, and

is abbreviated p.o.

Generally, the order given is
1. The drug name
2. The strength
3. The route of delivery
4. How often

So: Aspirin 81 mg per os (p.o.) daily
latin terms

Here is the question - how do you type the word "stat"  meaning immediately?  Its a latin derivitive like n.p.o. , p.r.n. etc, and those are typed in lower case with periods.  So would it be "stat."    I have also seen it typed STAT  with no period.  I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice.  Any ideas???  Or where to look??

the great thing about MT'g is you always learn -doing this 23+ yrs and there were things I was doing wrong for years,  cause I just didn't know, and back in 1985 the AAMT Book of Style was 85 pages long - I HAVE ONE....*l*  It's a never-ending field for learning for me, really all of us if you think about it,  all the time and if I can help, I want to help; yet I'm still not as knowledgeable as some other posters, so I keep an open mind to keep on learning....*S*
