What Does Pu And Nka Mean On A Prescription?.

Updated

what does PU and NKA mean on a prescription?. The pharmacy I gave my written prescription to to get filled gave it back to me and told me I needed to wait a few more days before it could be filled. They wrote PU 1:19 and NKA at the top. what does that mean?

Did you ask them?

My best guess is that the NKA is the initials of the person that you gave it to and the PU 1:19 looks like some sort of internal code, with the time. It likely means something specifically within their pharmacy chain, perhaps the reason why it couldn't be filled yet and the approximate time you were in.

But, as I said, this is just a guess, you'd need to ask them to really find out.
