Directions for use:
DS or Da, signa (Latin) are not used in English native-speaking countries. In English they simply write the real and practical meaning of DS and that is: Directions for use
Da means give but we don't translate that. The word "da" (give) is not used but they write TAKE after the phrase "directions for use" as an instruction. Like: Directions for use: Take 1 tablet daily...
You can also see in your own jpg context that the "sentence" refers to the directions for use: 500x1 & e:1 t.

3-Signatura (S.= signa=indicate)= directions for use (for patients how to take the medicine)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Take 1 to 2 tablets daily or as recommended by your physician, pharmacist or health professional.
English medical prescriptions contain "Directions for use" and not the word by word version or word by word translation of this Latin phrase.

: You will not see any kind of prescriptions, neither in the US, nor in the UK or in Australia that would contain this phrase: give & indicate. Translation should be practical (what is used in real medical/pharmaceutical environment).

The question was, "What does "DS" mean here?" The meaning I have provided is correct, as can be confirmed in the pharmacology glossary I referred to, as well as by the translations in various other languages. "DS" does not mean "directions for use".
