What does DISP mean in PRESCRIPTION

Dispensing refers to the process of preparing and providing medication from a pharmacy to a patient. It also involves ensuring that proper instructions are given to patients on how to use their medication safely and effectively.

A prescription order must include information such as patient's name, medical history, diagnosis, physician's name and signature, date of issue, dosage, route of administration and any special instructions related to preparation or storage conditions.

It is important to read all labels carefully and understand how each medication should be taken before taking them. Patients should also ask their healthcare provider for any questions they have about their medication and discuss any potential side effects with their healthcare provider as well.

Dispensing medications incorrectly can lead to adverse health consequences including drug interactions or overdose. It is important for pharmacists and healthcare providers to follow proper procedures when dispensing medications and provide patients with clear instructions on how to take them properly.  

By having your medications dispensed by a pharmacy you can ensure that you receive high quality service and advice from trained professionals who will answer any questions you may have about your medications. In addition, they can check for potential drug interactions or adverse reactions that may occur when taking multiple medications at once.
