Have you ever wondered what a medical abbreviation meant? Understanding doctor’s instructions is crucial when it comes to prescription medications, and confusing terminology may disrupt treatments.

PRN is an abbreviation of pro re nata, a Latin phrase that means “take as needed.” Doctors use Latin to communicate medical instructions because the language is no longer spoken. That means it remains consistent and knowable to all healthcare professionals, unlike languages that are still used today (which are bound to evolve over time).
