Hi Q
Doctors often write PO (by mouth) on handwritten prescriptions, but not generally on computer generated scripts......which will state capsules or tablets etc, thus implying that the drug is to be taken by mouth.

Diclofenac 50mg tablets
Take ONE three times a day....whereas a handwritten script might say
Diclofenac 50mg PO tid
