Every 1 hour as needed(PRN)
q6h - every six hours prn- as needed
READING A PRESCRIPTION CORRECTLY YOU JUST HAVE TO MEMORIZE DIFFERENT ABBREVIATIONS USED (most come from Latin). If the doctor writes "sig:" (some DO NOT), that means "these are my directions or instructions" For pills, tabs and capsules it may say: PO (by mouth), ac (before meals), PC (after meals), QD (once a day) BID (twice a day), TID (three times a day), QID (four times a day), at or @HS (at bedtime [hour of sleep]). FOR DROPS: gtt is drop, gtts is drops, AS is left ear, AD is right ear, AU is both ears.....OS is left eye, OD is right side, OU is both eyes..........PRN is "as needed", as in 1 tab QID PRN pain. There are more, but these are the most used and all I can remember right now!

PRN, when used in pharmacy or medicine, stands for pro re nata, meaning "as the circumstance arises". When you see PRN on a prescription, pharmacists usually translate this to as needed. For example, if you see a pharmacy "sig" which reads:1 tab qs prna pharmacist would translate this to mean 1 tablet every night at bedtime as needed.So there are no "side effects" of prn, other than maybe a decreased or increased tendency to take the medication, depending on the effects the medicine provides. For instance, if a medication causes nausea and vomiting, and PRN is included on the label, a patient might take the medication less often. On the other hand, if a medication causes euphoria, and includes PRN on the label, a patient might be inclined to take the medication more often.
Clubs. The rank order of suits from lowest to highest is Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. This means that after 1 Club is bid, it is possible for 1 of any of the other suits to be bid. But if, say, 1 Heart is bid it is only possible to bid 1 Spade, 2 Clubs, 2 Diamonds, or some higher bid.

I'm a disability carer also responsible for administering medication so come across abbreviations quite often. The abbreviation you have means Take 1 via mouth 4 times a day, as required. po is mouth or oral, qid is 4 times a day and PRN is a term that used for medcation that is only to be taken as required. Im not sure what your medication is for, but It would mean if feel you need your medication because your illness is worsening or bothering you etc, you are to take 1 tablet, via mouth, 4 times a day until you no longer need it. Hope this helps :)
1 pill by mouth, taken twice a day
