dosage abbrieviations in prescriptions

I'll repeat the following question, from the end of an earlier post

(does this prove no one really reads my long-ish posts? does this mean I

should discontinue same?).

By the way, I think I know

bid = twice a day

tid = thrice a day

qid = four a day

but does anyone know the abbrieviation for ONCE a day?

P.S. Also, is there an abbrieviation for " as needed " ?

JACHO now considers QD a prohibited abreviation. MDs

are supposed to write out daily or Q day.

Others commonly used are

PO=by mouth

QOD=every other day (also prohibited)

cc=cubic centimeter (prohibited)

_

c =with (c with a line over it)

_

s =without (s with a line over it)
