Prescription in Malayalam
ഔഷധവിധി (oushadhavidhi) is the Malayalam word for a prescription, the slip a doctor writes out. It is a compound of the words for medicine and for a direction or rule, so it reads as instructions for medicine. You meet it on printed forms and in medical writing, while at a clinic counter most people simply say the English word.
Prescription.
ഡോക്ടർ എനിക്ക് ഔഷധവിധി എഴുതിത്തന്നു.
doktar enikku oushadhavidhi ezhuthithannu
The doctor wrote out a prescription for me.
