ativan 0.5mg
PO BID prn
#:15

edit: maybe I should have mentioned what that means

.5mg Pills of Ativan (brand name for lorazepam, an antianxiety medication)
PO means "per orum" or "by mouth" "BID" means "bi-daily" or twice per day, and "prn" means as necessary
the 15 is the number to dispense

What this would translate to on the prescription bottle is:

Ativan .5mg tablets.
Take one pill twice daily as needed
quantity: 15
Refills: 0
