Question

藥單上的 RX 是什麼?全文是什麼呢?

Answer 1

sultiph講的也對
補充
旦在藥單上是prescription的的簡寫
prescription就是配藥的"處方" "配方"
就是從醫生手上拿的那一張紙 代表 "配藥單"
Rx算是一種標誌symbol
很多時候是代表"藥局"的標誌, 人們一看到就知道可以拿藥
prescription number = Rx # (藥劑師做紀錄用的)
We do prescriptions here = 我們配藥
fill prescriptions = 配藥
pick up prescription = 拿藥

Answer 2

長話短說:
Rx 表示病人要去那裡拿藥

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rx

中文翻譯:
Rx 來自表示 prescription (處方)的有 R 與 x 的圖案。這個標誌來源有幾個說法。有些人指出它與霍露斯(鷹頭太陽神) 的眼很像，有人則指朱比特(相當於宙斯)的標誌。兩個神都有受到求醫者祈求保護。或者它也有可能是拉丁文 recipere (拿)的縮寫，而為什麼會演變成這樣的原因可能不只一個。 Rx 表示人要去那裡拿藥，不過在過去可能是寫給藥師要去那裡取材料。

The symbol "Rx" meaning "prescription" is a transliteration of a symbol resembling a capital R with a cross on the diagonal (℞). There are various theories as to the origin of this symbol - some note its similarity to the eye of Horus, others to the ancient symbol for Jupiter, both gods whose protection may have been sought in medical contexts. Alternatively, it may be intended as an abbreviation of the Latin recipere, "to take", and it is quite possible that more than one of these factors influenced its form. Literally, "Rx" indicates an instruction "to take" what is specified in the prescription, although this was probably originally directed at the pharmacist who needed to take a certain amount of each drug and prepare them, rather than at the patient who must take the medicine, in the sense of consuming it.
