What does 2/52 mean on prescription?

What does it mean to 2 / 52 on a prescription for a product
Answer:

It needs to be asked in context.. Where is the 2/52? what is the other writing around it? is it part of a sentence? a formula? if it comes after the listing of 2 drugs then it could mean the percentage of each, or the mg of each...but with out the context that is is given it one can't really be sure? Sorry!

it usually means the medicine contains a combination of two separate drugs. i.e. percocet is a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone. One type of percocet pill may contain 5/325 which stands for 5mg of oxycodone and 325mg of acetaminophen (tylenol).

Hi Richard, call the pharmacy that you got the prescription from and ask the pharmacist to explain it to you so that you have the correct information. Take care.

Maybe if you said what the prescription was for, someone could answer. Pills? Drops? Glasses? Exercise? Equipment? Details are good when you want good answers. :)
