DictionarySeezeroleading zero
leading zeroA zero that precedes a decimal point, e.g., as in “levothyroxine 0.05 mg p.o. daily.” Leading zeros should always be employed when writing prescriptions for doses of drugs that are fractions of a unit. In the example above an alternative method of writing the drug dose without decimals is “levothyroxine 50 µg p.o. daily.” See also: zero |
