To write the prescription, you would state: "Take 1 tablet by mouth in the morning" and "Take 2 tablets by mouth at bedtime." Alternatively, you can simplify it to: "1 tablet orally in the morning and 2 tablets orally at bedtime." Make sure to include the medication name, dosage, and any specific instructions if needed.
take one tablet by mouth every night at bedtime

It means take one tablet by mouth twice a day. Since a day is 24 hours, dividing that by two means one tablet every 12 hours.
1 tab poq hs means "take one tablet by mouth every night." The abbreviation "po" stands for "by mouth" and "hs" stands for "at bedtime."
Mouth dissolving tablets are designed to dissolve in the mouth within seconds without the need for water, making them convenient for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Fast dissolving tablets, on the other hand, may dissolve quickly in the stomach or upon contact with liquid, but they do not necessarily need to be placed in the mouth like mouth dissolving tablets.
To write an instruction for taking half a tablet by mouth two times a day, you could phrase it as follows: "Take half a tablet orally twice daily." You may also specify the timing, such as "Take half a tablet by mouth in the morning and half a tablet in the evening." Ensure that the tablet can be safely split, and include any additional instructions regarding food or water intake if necessary.
'Mouth dissolving' tablets :)
It means just what is says. Swallow one tablet (pill) orally twice each day for 7 days. Twice each day would be like with breakfast and then with dinner. So you take two pills (tablets) each day, one in the morning and another in the evening. Some medications require that they be taken with food.
"by mouth at bedtime"
One tablet of this type is nitroglycerin, a vasodialator (expands blood vessels), that is placed under the tongue, and absorbed this way, rather than by chewing or swallowing. This type of medication is called a sublingual tablet (meaning "under the tongue").
A sugar coated tablet has a hard sugary coating - this makes the tablet nicer to put into a mouth and swallow. Some tablets have a nasty taste. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A tablet is a powdered medicine that has been compressed into a small, solid, disk or lozenge shape. This can then be swallowed easily by someone needing treatment using that medicine. However, some medicines taste bitter and to prevent this taste upsetting the patient as they swallow the medicine, the tablets are given an outer layer of hardened (and frequently coloured) sugar to make them palatable. This is a sugar coated tablet.
A fast dispersible tablet is a type of oral dosage form that rapidly dissolves or disintegrates in the mouth without the need for water. These tablets are designed to enhance patient compliance, particularly for individuals who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets, such as children or the elderly. They typically contain superdisintegrants and are formulated to provide quick absorption of the active ingredient, leading to faster onset of action. Fast dispersible tablets are convenient for on-the-go use and can often be flavored to improve palatability.
