Rx
Pharmacy script symbol
Rx is an abbreviation for prescription, appearing on medicine bottles and pharmacy signs.
The symbol derives from the Latin word for "recipe" (meaning "take"), once written at the top of medical formulas.
By extension, Rx can mean any recommended remedy or solution: What's your Rx for a broken heart?
