Predpísa

Predpísa is a Slovak word that translates to "prescription" in English. It most commonly refers to a written instruction from a medical professional, such as a doctor or dentist, for a patient to obtain medication or a specific treatment. This prescription details the type of medicine, its dosage, frequency of administration, and the duration of treatment. It serves as authorization for a pharmacist to dispense the prescribed drug.

Beyond its medical context, predpísa can also be used in a broader sense to mean a regulation, rule, or set of guidelines. For example, a government might issue a predpísa for environmental protection, or a company might have a predpísa for employee conduct. In these instances, it signifies a formally established requirement or standard that must be followed. The specific meaning is usually discernible from the context in which the word is used.
