Decode this doctors hand writing
Reading File
Here is my best interpretation of the handwriting in the image:
Rx (prescription header, top left "℞")
- 2. Congots Nouridin Plan tle
→ Likely: Congots Nouridin Plan Tle — possibly "Congost Nauridin Plan" or a branded supplement/medication name. This could be "Congestac / Nauridin" or similar. Hard to decode with certainty.
laofons-f D₄ (pain cipin)
→ Likely: "Deferasirox / Diprospan (pain)" or more probably "Ibuprofen / Diclofenac (pain cipin)" — possibly "Ibuprofen DF (pain)" or a local brand name.
Left column (instructions):
-
N Athrex 10 | a gyl → Possibly: "Naproxen 10 / a gyl" or "N. Athrex 10 mg / a gel" — likely a topical gel or tablet with dosage
-
- z eling spray ? → Possibly: "Z-cling spray" or "Xylometazoline spray" — a nasal decongestant spray

⚠️ Important disclaimer: Handwritten prescriptions are notoriously difficult to decode, and misreading a prescription can be dangerous. Please take this note directly to your pharmacist — pharmacists are trained to interpret doctor's handwriting and can contact the prescribing doctor for clarification if needed. Do not take or administer any medication based solely on this interpretation.
Read out carefully and describe bottom 2 medicines, it is a doctor written prescription
Looking carefully at the clearer image, here is my reading of the bottom 2 medicines:
Medicine 3: Ardrex 10 (or Andrex 10)
- Written as: "N. Ardrex — o / 1m"
- Right side: "o gel" (likely "a gel" = apply as gel)
- Most likely: Ardrex / Ardex — could be a topical NSAID or muscle relaxant gel (e.g., Diclofenac gel or Ketoprofen gel), 10 mg strength
- The "1m" below likely means "1 month" supply or "1 time" application
Medicine 4: Caline Spray (or Saline Spray)
- Written as: "N. Caline/Saline Spray — o"
- Right side: "↓" (arrow down = taper/reduce, or just directional instruction)
- Most likely: Saline Nasal Spray — a very common prescription item for nasal congestion/irrigation
- The "o" could mean once daily or as needed
Summary Table
| # | Medicine | Likely Interpretation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Ardrex 10 | Topical NSAID gel (Diclofenac/Ketoprofen 10mg) | Apply as gel |
| 4 | Caline/Saline Spray | Saline nasal spray | Once daily / as needed |

Now I have a complete picture. Here's a thorough explanation connecting the prescription to the patient's dental cyst history:
Re-reading the Prescription in Context of a Dental Cyst
Now that we know the patient has/had a cyst beneath the tooth (a periapical/radicular cyst), the prescription makes much more sense. Here is the updated interpretation:
What is a Periapical (Radicular) Cyst?
A periapical/radicular cyst is the most common dental cyst. It forms at the apex (root tip) of a tooth due to long-standing infection or pulp (nerve) death — often from decay or trauma. It shows up as a radiolucent (dark) area on X-ray beneath the tooth root, as shown above.
"The radicular cyst (or periapical cyst) is a common inflammatory lesion found at the tooth apex... Necrotic dental pulp may traverse the length of the root to exit at the apex into the surrounding alveolar bone." — Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease
The Prescription — Fully Re-interpreted
| # | Written | Most Likely Medicine | Why Prescribed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Colgate Sensodine Plan tle | Colgate Sensodyne toothpaste | After dental cyst treatment, the tooth/root becomes extremely sensitive. Sensodyne desensitizes exposed nerve endings |
| 2 | Laofons-f D₄ (pain cipin) | Ibuprofen / Naproxen (pain killer) | Post-procedural pain relief — NSAIDs are first-line for dental pain |
| 3 | N. Ardrex 10 / a gel | Likely Diclofenac/Ketoprofen gel | Topical anti-inflammatory applied over the jaw area to reduce swelling |
| 4 | Caline/Saline Spray | Saline nasal spray | Very relevant here — a large periapical cyst near upper teeth can extend into the maxillary sinus, causing nasal/sinus symptoms. Saline spray clears the sinus post-surgery |
Key Clinical Point
The saline nasal spray (medicine 4) is a strong clue — dentists routinely prescribe it after upper tooth cyst removal because the maxillary sinus sits directly above the upper molar roots. If the cyst was near upper teeth, the surgery may have opened a communication with the sinus (called an oro-antral fistula), requiring nasal irrigation.
⚠️ Please confirm all medications with the prescribing dentist or pharmacist before use. This interpretation is for informational purposes only.
May be it is Ambrox Cetirizine (500mg

That makes excellent sense! Here is the updated, corrected reading:
Updated Prescription Reading — Bottom 2 Medicines
Medicine 3: Ambrox (Ambroxol)
- What it is: Ambroxol is a mucolytic / expectorant — it thins and loosens mucus secretions
- Why prescribed: After dental cyst surgery near upper teeth/sinuses, mucus can accumulate in the maxillary sinus. Ambroxol helps clear it. It is also commonly combined with antibiotics post-surgery.
- Common dose: 30mg tablets, 2–3 times daily
- Brand names: Ambroxol, Ambril, Ambrodil, Mucosolvan
Medicine 4: Cetirizine (500mg... likely 5mg or 10mg)
- What it is: Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine — non-sedating, anti-allergic
- Why prescribed: Controls post-surgical inflammation, reduces nasal/sinus swelling, prevents allergic reactions. Very commonly prescribed alongside mucolytics for sinus-related dental cases.
- Correct dose: Cetirizine comes in 5mg or 10mg — NOT 500mg. The "500" you see is likely the quantity (e.g., "5 × 0" = 5 tablets) or a misread of "5.0 mg"
- Brand names: Zyrtec, Alerid, Cetcip, Okacet
Revised Full Prescription Summary
| # | Medicine | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Colgate Sensodyne toothpaste | Desensitizes the tooth after cyst/root treatment |
| 2 | Ibuprofen/Naproxen (pain killer) | Post-procedure pain relief |
| 3 | Ambrox (Ambroxol) | Mucolytic — clears sinus/throat mucus |
| 4 | Cetirizine 5mg or 10mg + Saline spray | Antihistamine — reduces sinus swelling; saline irrigates |
Why Ambrox + Cetirizine Together?
This is a classic combination in dental/ENT practice. After a dental cyst procedure near the upper jaw:
- Cetirizine reduces allergic/inflammatory swelling of the nasal passages
- Ambroxol loosens the mucus so it drains properly from the sinus
⚠️ Cetirizine does not come in 500mg — the standard dose is 10mg once daily (or 5mg twice daily). Please confirm the dosage with your doctor or pharmacist before taking.
