OpenMD’s index includes 5,000 common medical abbreviations. Meanings vary by institution and clinical context. When available, the context and original Latin term are provided in parentheses after the English definition. While this index was compiled from credible sources, it has not been medically reviewed. When in doubt, always check with the organization or individual who authored the abbreviation in question to verify the author’s intended meaning. About Medical Abbreviations The use of certain abbreviations can be dangerous and lead to patient injury or death. Examples of • IU (international unit): may be confused with “IV” (intravenous) • µg (microgram): may be confused with mg (milligram) • U (unit): may be mistaken for “0” (zero), increasing the dose tenfold To minimize confusion, many organizations publish “Do Not Use” lists of easily-confused abbreviations and symbols.
