Ativan

0.5 mg (i think)

pc (i think) = after meals

bid = twice a day

prn = as needed

not sure about the "M" part, I am guessing it relates to the quantity since I don't see that anywhere else on the scrip and it needs to be there. So, I would say that the scrip is for 15 pills.

Edit: Just saw Mr. SD's, so I think the "M" could be a pound sign as well

Edit, Part II: It could be "po", not sure though, if it is, "po" means "per os" or "by mouth", similarly, NPO (sometimes heard in a hospital, prior to surgery, etc.) means "no per os" or "nothing by mouth".
