Rx (Relapse relation !?)

[Jumbo]

I'm not sure if this here was even discussed at all, so sorry if it was

Well right now I'm asking me what does the "Rx" sign mean? Is this a special drug, pill or something?



Right now I was watching a simpsons episode and saw a pill box with the "Rx" sign and I jus thought.. was this episode premiered BEFORE or AFTER Relapse was droppin'?

Can anyone clear this up pls

Yeah, the Rx sign is a commonplace symbol when dealing with Drug stores. I believe it has something specifically to do with Prescriptions. But yeah, that's why the Relapse symbols had the Rx symbol. I didn't think about you guys in Germany possibly not getting that...

It's been around for a LONG time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_prescription

In the United States, the term "prescription drug" is most commonly used, but they are also called Rx-only drugs or legend drugs, after the Federal and State laws which mandate that all such drugs bear a "legend" prohibiting sale without a prescription; though more complex legends have been used, on most original drug packaging today the legend simply says "Rx only". In the United Kingdom, they are referred to as Prescription Only Medicine or POM.
