väljakirjutatav

Väljakirjutatav is an Estonian word that translates to "prescribable" or "dispensable" in English. It refers to something that can be prescribed, particularly in a medical context, or something that can be written down or issued.

In healthcare, väljakirjutatav commonly describes medications that a doctor can officially authorize a patient to receive. When a doctor prescribes a medication, it becomes väljakirjutatav, meaning it can be dispensed by a pharmacist. This process ensures that medicines are used appropriately and under medical supervision. The term can also extend to other medical orders, such as referrals or diagnostic tests that are formally written out.

Beyond medicine, väljakirjutatav can also be used in a broader sense to mean something that can be officially documented or issued. For example, a certificate or a permit might be described as väljakirjutatav if it is a formal document that can be written out and given to someone. The core meaning revolves around the act of officially authorizing or recording something in writing.
