Sounds correct; I never used it, but one thing that makes medical reports

difficult is that everybody uses abbreviations, some of which are more

widespread than others...

> <snip> For C/O I am not so sure but I think it means " consultation of "

Actually it stands for " complains of " -- not that we really think the

patient is whiny (!) -- it is just the term commonly/traditionally used in

this kind of medical writing (hospital charts). I don't know what it would

be in German, though.

I'd normally ask for more context, even if I had to do so four times a day ...

Once daily is 'o.d'

'q.d.s' is four times a day .. q.d I've not heard of !

no - once daily.

Q.D.

Latin abbreviation for every day

The period after the " Q " has sometimes been mistaken for an " I, " and the

drug has been given " QID " (four times daily) rather than daily.

>'q.d.s' is four times a day

qid is four times daily (see above)

Dear Ursula,

you are right

fortunately, I found this abbreviation for the first time in instructions on

a drug that must be taken one time a day, and this was spelled out elsewhere

in the document.

I also encountered Q in the following abbreviations:

qh

Every hour

qod

Every other day

QW

Weekly dosing

and their derivatives: q2h, q2w

Best regards,

This probably explains why I've never seen QD used as an abbreviation

in UK hospitals. Seems a rather dangerous abbreviation to use if it

can so easily be confused with QID or QDS.
