Italiano term

in OS

Da Italiano a Inglese Medico/Sanitario Medicina (generale) medical prescription
In trattamento con ZOVIRAX pomata oftalmica per herpes corneale in OS.


All I can find for "OS" is oral administration but that makes no sense with an ointment.....

Giuliana Mafrica Jan 12, 2018:
The text says "in OS", not "per OS" (which would mean "per somministrazione orale"). A pomade can only be applied to an eye.
Jasmina Towers Jan 12, 2018:
Apologies, I hadn't read the post correctly!
Jenny Cowd (asker) Jan 12, 2018:
Occhio sinistro makes perfect sense in the context (on a medical prescription). I've never heard of taking an ophthalmic ointment by mouth on the other hand!!! I had already specified that this wasn't a convincing solution
Jasmina Towers Jan 12, 2018:
I'm pretty sure it's not 'occhio sinistro'!
Jenny Cowd (asker) Jan 12, 2018:
That would make more sense!!!
Giuliana Mafrica Jan 12, 2018:
Potrebbe essere "occhio sinistro".
