Benzodiazepine Medication Labels

[88brenno]

50 Diazepam 5mg tabs (RO)

Does anyone know what the RO stands for, i used to be on PRN which is as needed, but now the label says RO???

Does anyone know what RO means?

My guess would be RO stands for Roche (the producer)
Does it not say anything else?

Did you buy the chemist own brand? Mine says Diazepam (AF) I believe that the different abbreviations are just used as a means to distinguish what company made the pill. It is the active ingredient that you are after, and as long as the only one is diazepam 5mg then you are getting the same thing regardless what the chemist's label it as.

Jeck.

The RO stands for Roche; the manufacturer.

The instructions for dosing should be below the drug information.

In case anyone is interested, when you look up drug information on the PBS website they list manufacturers and their individual codes.
