PRESCRIPTION AND ITS STRUCTURE

A prescription is a written appeal of a doctor, heads of medical or obstetric points to a


pharmacist about the manufacture and release of a medicinal product to a certain person, indicating the
method of its use. This is an important medical, financial and legal document that needs to be treated
very carefully.

Prescription structure:

1. Inscriptio – inscription, which includes:


• stamp of medical and preventive institution and its code;
• indication: children or adults (it is necessary to emphasize);
• date of prescription (date, month, year);
• surname, name and patronymic of the patient, age;
• surname, name and patronymic of the doctor.
2. Invocatio – A doctor's request to a pharmacist is a “prescription”, which means “take”.
Abbreviated – “Rp”.
3. Designatio materiarum – a list of medicinal substances in Latin in the genitive case,
indicating their number in the following order:
 basis – the main active ingredient;
 adjuvans – auxiliary drug substance;
 corrigens – substances that correct or mask the taste, smell and other unpleasant
organoleptic properties of drugs;
 constituens – substances that give drugs a certain dosage form:
 for solid dosage forms
o dosed powders for oral administration – sugar,
o for powders – indifferent powders (talc, white clay, starch, zinc oxide);
 for soft dosage forms - vaseline, lanolin, spermaceti;
 for liquid dosage forms - water, vegetable oil, alcohol.
4. Subscriptio – instructions of the pharmacist on the manufacturing technology, dosage forms,
number of doses (in Latin).
5. Signatura – begins with the word Signa (mark). This part is written in the state or other
languages, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Languages in Ukraine”, without any
abbreviations.
6. Nomen medici – the doctor's signature, his personal seal and, if necessary, the seal of the
medical institution.

Not all parts of designatio materiarum can be represented in the recipe. The obligatory part of
the prescription is only basis – a substance that determines the nature of the action of the entire dosage
form.
Adjuvans – used to enhance the desired effect and (or) reduce some of the side effects of the
main substance. For example, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril, has a pronounced
hypotensive effect mainly due to vasodilation. Using enalapril in combination with a diuretic (eg,
hydrochlorothiazide), which will further reduce the volume of circulating blood, you can achieve a
more pronounced and lasting pharmacotherapeutic effect.
Corrigens – substances that correct the taste and smell, are used to give a more attractive
appearance and taste of drugs. When prescribing powders, it can be sugar, and when prescribing liquid
dosage forms - syrups, etc.
Constituens – filler (sugar - in powders used internally; talc, starch, white clay, zinc oxide - in
powders for external use); substance for shaping (water, oil, alcohol - for liquid dosage forms and
Vaseline, lanolin - for ointments and pastes).
Signatura – short and comprehensive recommendations of the doctor to the patient on the use
of this dosage form.
1. Dosage (1 tablet, 1 powder, 1 ml, 1 tablespoon, etc.)
2. The method of application of the drug (for example: subcutaneously, intravenously,
intramuscularly, administered slowly). Ingestion of the drug may not be indicated in the signature. If
before use the contents of the vial or ampoule must be diluted, the signature shall indicate: the contents
of the vial diluted (dissolved) in 500 ml (or other required volume) of sterile (parenterally administered
only sterile solutions) 5% glucose solution (or other solvent).
3. Frequency and time of reception (2 times a day).

3
The names of drugs in the recipe are written in Latin in the genitive case, one below the other,
each of the new line. The amount of drugs included in the prescription is indicated on the right side of
the prescription form next to the name of the drug substance ā (0.01; 1 ml; 10000 IU, etc.).
In cases where the maximum dose of toxic or potent substances is exceeded, it is necessary to
indicate their number in words with an exclamation mark and a doctor's signature to confirm that the
high dose is not prescribed by accident. If the correct dose is not confirmed, the pharmacist reduces the
dose of the substance (up to 50% of the highest single dose specified in the Pharmacopoeia).
If several drugs are prescribed in the same dose, its numerical value is indicated only once after
the name of the last substance. To indicate that the specified number refers to all of the above names,
put the sign āā, which means ana – equally:
Rp.: Riboflavini
Thiamini сhloridi āā 0.01
Ac. аscorbinici 0.1
M.f.pulv.
D.t.d.N. 12

GENERAL TERMINOLOGY
A medicinal substance is a material of bacterial, vegetable, mineral, animal or synthetic origin
from which drugs are made.
A medicinal compound is a separate chemical compound or biologically active substance,
which when administered into the body is able to prevent the disease, change the course of the
pathological process, normalize function and promote rapid recovery.
A pharmacological agent is a substance or mixture of substances with established
pharmacological activity that is the subject of a clinical trial.
A medicinal remedy (medicine) is a pharmacological agent authorized for use by an
authorized body of the country in accordance with the established procedure for the prevention,
treatment or diagnosis of human or animal diseases. Permission to use the new drug is granted by the
State Expert Centre of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
A drug is a medicine in the form of a specific dosage form.
Dosage form is a convenient for use condition provided by a medicinal product or medicinal
plant raw material, in which the desired therapeutic effect is achieved.
Combination drugs are drugs that contain more than one active substance in a single dosage
form in fixed dosages.
The drug may have several names according to different classifications:
• chemical – approved in accordance with the requirements of the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC);
37
• international non-proprietary name (INN) – the name of the active substance in accordance
with the International Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical Classification (ATC). INN is not the property
of a particular manufacturer and is not protected by a patent;
• trade (commercial, brand) – is the “name” under which the drug is sold on the pharmaceutical
market, protected by a patent, is a trademark of the manufacturer and is protected by patent law.
The drug Pilocarpine – INN name.
(3S-cis)-3-Ethyldihydro-4-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl) methyl]-2(3H)-furanone – chemical
name of Pilocarpine.
Salagen, Pilocarpine hydrochloridе, Oftan® Pilocarpin, Pilocarpine-DIA – trade names of
Pilocarpine.
An original (innovative) drug is a drug developed on the basis of a substance first obtained,
which has undergone a full course of preclinical and clinical studies and is protected by a patent for a
certain period (usually 20 years).
Generic (generic – general) drug (generic) is the full therapeutic equivalent of an innovative
and is released after the expiration of the patent protection of the original drug.
Synonyms (Greek Synonymos – the same name) – are trade names of drugs (generic and
original), created on the basis of one INN.
Analogs (Greek Analogos – similar) – drugs from one pharmacological group.
A branded drug is an original or generic drug with a sales revenue of more than $ 1 million per
year.
An umbrella (or corporate) brand is when one well-known brand (brand) “covers” several
different trade names of drugs and consists of well-known INNs and parts of the name of the
manufacturer.
Branded generic is a generic drug that generates more than $ 1 million a year in sales.
A best-selling pharmaceutical is a drug with sales of between $ 500 million and $ 1 billion
per year (such as no-spa).
Blockbuster is a drug with sales of more than $ 1 billion a year (such as Viagra).
Top drug is a drug that occupies one of the first places in the ranking for a certain time (week,
month, year), in a certain place (region, country, world) on a certain indicator (the most sold, assigned,
domestic, foreign etc.).
Non-name drug is a long-known drug that is sold under INN and under trademarks, and to
determine which name is the original is impossible (e.g., phenobarbital).
Orphan drug is a drug used to treat severe serious diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, Gaucher
disease, hemophilia).
A chiral drug is a drug that contains a pharmacologically active stereoisomer of a drug
substance (for example, the S (-) isomer of amlodipine has 1000 times higher affinity for calcium
channel receptors than the R (+) isomer).
Galenic drug is a preparation obtained after treatment of simple phytopreparations by methods
of infusion, extraction (tinctures, extracts, powders, tablets, granules, capsules, suppositories,
emulsions), containing ballast substances (fibre, mucus, proteins, resins, etc.) and not suitable for
parenteral (injection) use.
Novogalenic drug is a galenic preparation released from ballast substances, suitable incl. for
parenteral use. After cleaning, the side effects of ballast substances are reduced. Novogalenic
preparations are dry and liquid. Dry preparations are dosed by weight and used for the manufacture of
powders, tablets, granules, capsules, ampoules.

38
Alkaloids are substances of plant origin that contain nitrogen in the cycle and are organic
bases. In plants, they form salts with organic acids, well soluble in water. Common properties for all
alkaloids are the ability to have a physiological effect on humans and animals.
