X (drug caution code)
X (drug caution code): Abbreviation on a medication that indicates SOS -- that the medication contains a substance such as acetaminophen that could cause problems -- consult your pharmacist.
While not a part of the historical heritage of ancient prescription abbreviations , drug caution codes provide very valuable warnings.
If you see a caution code on a prescription, talk to your pharmacist about it before using the medicine.
