Answers:
The symbol "Rx" separates the superscription from the inscriptions sections!. In this arrangement of the prescription, the "Rx" is a symbol for recipe or literally the imperative "take!." This is an exhortation to the pharmacist by the doctor, "I want the patient to have the following medication"[29] - in other words, "take the following components and compound this medication for the patient!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

Rx means recipe for, another definition for perscription!. The R stands for recipe, coming from the latin word recipere, the x is simplified from 'R for' to R4 and now is just Rx!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
