Take with food → Tome con alimentos. Do not add this instruction unless it appears on the label or is confirmed.
Dangerous words and abbreviations
English “once” means one time, but Spanish “once” means eleven. Do not guess abbreviations such as qd, bid, tid, or prn; confirm the complete instruction.
