The symbol "Rx" separates the superscription from the inscriptions sections.. In this arrangement of the prescription, the "Rx" is a symbol for recipe or literally the imperative "take.." This is an exhortation to the pharmacist by the doctor, "I want the patient to have the following medication"[29] - in other words, "take the following components and compound this medication for the patient.."Health Question & Answer
