Zoplikon is a sleeping pill

: This is absolutely incorrect. Has nothing to do with the dosage time but rather for how many purchases the prescription is valid. It is valid for one single purchase, no repeats. I believe that it is written as "non rep" in English prescriptions.

I have contacted the asker for review of my answer. You are right, I was in too much of a hurry. I believe the right answer is "Prescription for Zoplikon 30 mg, one each PM.

: (I think) I finally understand this. "Ett uttag" means "non repetatur" (once, no repeats) while "flera uttag" would be "iteration", in English, i.e. repeat. In other words, the interpretation of "uttag" depends on what precedes it. Complicated, ain't it?

Thank you. I have the feeling something is missing in the text that was given.

I think what they mean is that there are 30 pills of 5 mg (blister packs, probably) and that one has been removed.

Thanks. In fact this answer was given (and accepted) on this site a short time ago (see link). I think it's right.

: Don Spade's reference is very convincing. I tzke it to mean for example that that you get a long-term prescription, and can then get a fresh supply every 3 months.
