Subject: Prescription dose word sig is or zig is

I think I got it.  I actually typed in sig 1 q.6h on google and it came up with a website for can you read these prescriptions? onthepharm.net.  There are 3 samples given and the 3rd sample has the word sig there.  When the samples are unscrambled, the sig is DISPENSE.  I still left it blank and will check with QA.

most definitely the stages in Hep C are Roman numerals - ask any pathology department or lab department or any hepatologist.


Stage I is characterized by inflammation without the development of any scar tissue. Stage II features include inflammation with early scarring (fibrosis) in one zone (portal) of the liver. Stage III shows bridging of the fibrosis between adjacent portal tracts. Stage IV is cirrhosis (advanced scarring with loss of normal liver architecture). Stage of Disease Terminology Early stage, mild activity (1) Chronic Persistent Hepatitis C or Mild Chronic Active Hepatitis C Intermediate stage (II or III) Chronic Active Hepatitis C with Fibrosis Advanced stage (IV) Cirrhosis
