annustatakse

Annustatakse is the Estonian verb form meaning “is dosed” or “is administered.” It is the third-person singular present passive form of the verb annustada, which denotes giving a dose of a drug or other substance to someone, typically in a medical context. The passive form is common in clinical, pharmaceutical, and guideline language because the actor (the clinician or nurse) is often understood or deliberately left unnamed.

In use, annustatakse describes how a dose is given, sometimes specifying the amount, form, or timing. For example: “Ravimit annustatakse patsiendile 50 mg kaks korda päevas.” Here the medicine is being dosed to the patient, with the dosage amount and frequency stated. Another example might describe a procedure or protocol, such as “Insuliin annustatakse vastavalt skeemile,” or more generally, “Annetada annustasid” in future-oriented guidelines.

Grammatically, annustatakse is the present tense passive form, with related forms including annustati (past tense), annustaks (conditional), and annustada (infinitive). The term is often paired with nouns like ravim (medicine/drug), annus (dose), and annustamine (dosage administration). While synonyms exist—such as manustada for administer—the term annustatakse is particularly common in medical records, patient instructions, and formal treatment protocols.
