This is a list of abbreviations used in medical prescriptions and hospital orders (sometimes referred to as sig codes). This list does not include abbreviations for pharmaceuticals or drug name suffixes such as CD, CR, ER, XT (See ' for those). Capitalization and the use of periods are a matter of style. In the list, Latin is not capitalized whereas English acronyms are. These abbreviations can be verified in reference works, both recent and older. Some of those works (such as Wyeth 1901〔) are so comprehensive that their entire content cannot be reproduced here. But this list includes all that are frequently encountered in today's health care. Some of these are obsolete (such as the apothecaries' units); others remain current. Abbreviations which are deprecated by the Joint Commission are marked in red. Those abbreviations which are deprecated by other organizations, such as the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and the American Medical Association (AMA), are marked in orange. The Joint Commission is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization which offers accreditation to hospitals and other health care organizations in the United States. While their recommendations are not binding on U.S. physicians, they are required of organizations who wish accreditation by the Joint Commission. ==Table== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of abbreviations used in medical prescriptions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
