E-DRUG: confusions on prescription serving (2)
----------------------------------------------

Prescribers in the town are using 0`s and 1`s to say
the usage of drug ,instead of od,bd,tid. The meanings
of "0" and "1" are unclear: use or not use?

We often use that in Germany. Usually

1-1-1 means three times daily.
1-0-0 means take one in the morning
1/2-1/2-0 means half in the morning, half noon

Sometimes you may see 4 digits:

1-0-0-1 take one in the morning, one at night before going to bed
