Spanish term

PH de cucharadas

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi! I'm translating a patient's medical history. The sentence goes: Se le indicó al paciente Daflon 500 mg 3v/día, ****PH de cucharadas**** c/día.

I don't know the meaning of PH here. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Maria

what is Daflon being administered for?? Liz, answering your question, I found that DAFLON 500 mg is an oral phlebotropic drug indicated in the treatment of venous disease, ie, chronic venous disease (CVD) and hemorrhoidal disease (HD). http://www.servier.com/Pro/Venous/Daflon/Daflon.aspx?id_=656

Mary: I think Liz may have hit the nail on the head as her answer looks pretty good! Is there a chance you could check with your client so as to absolutely sure? Luck:-)
mikellys Aug 25, 2008:
Oops! ignore that comment. It has already been dealt with.
mikellys Aug 25, 2008:
Hmm... my only problem with "Por Hora" Terry is that there are 24 hrs. in a day. The prescription says 3v/dia.
BAmary (X) (asker) Aug 25, 2008:
You just called me "normal". You made my day!
Yes, I think this might be it. I'll wait a little longer to see if someone confirms. Have a nice evening!
Terry Burgess Aug 25, 2008:
and why can't normal people understand dotors' terminology..jajaja:-)
Mary: H, h Dosis de medicamento bebible; altura; henrio;
Perhaps this is it! It's the daily dosage but administered with what frecuency?? phrps anothr coleag can expl the "P":-))
BAmary (X) (asker) Aug 24, 2008:
Take a look at this dictionary (look under H): http://www.diccionariotaber.com/content.php?MTY=&L1RhYmVyL3B...

Anyway, I don't think it's "per hour" since he's saying "3 times a day". Why can't doctors write like normal people???!!!! he he he!
Terry Burgess Aug 24, 2008:
Mary, plse cite your sources for this "H" info. It's new 2 me & I like to learn new things 2:-)
BAmary (X) (asker) Aug 24, 2008:
I think I found it! "H" is the medical abbreviation used for "dose" in Spanish, so I think he means "per dose". Si hay algún médico que pueda confirmar sería bueno! Thanks!
Terry Burgess Aug 24, 2008:
Hola a todos/as! Quizá el "PH" signifique "Por Hora"..como itinerario para administrar la dosificación. Una sugerencia, nomás. Saludos:-))
BAmary (X) (asker) Aug 24, 2008:
No, evidentemente no, pero si es parte del nombre del medicamento, qué tiene que ver "de cucharadas"? Querrá decir "a cucharadas"?
José J. Martínez Aug 24, 2008:
El PH aquí no debe de ser referido al químico pH...es algún medicamento que hay allá.
