In the apothecary system, it is important to be able to write and read drug prescriptions the right way to avoid misinterpretation a drug order. If the dosage is 1 or greater, the Hindu-Arabic system must be used. Meaning regular numbers must be used and not counting numbers. Decimals are also preferred instead of using fractions.
