xé/j

French to English Medical Medical (general) hospitalization report
Hi everyone,
Currently translating a hospitalization from France and have the following:
"Prophylaxie par Amoxicilline 500 mg xé/j au long cours"
What does "xé" stand for here? Does it simply mean "per day"?
Thanks
Joanna

Thanks everyone for your help. I will put a translator note explaining the situation. Unfortunately this is a rush agency job so I don't think I will get an answer from them.

Typical dosage is 500 mg every 12 hours, or 250 mg every 8 hours.

Exactement !

That's what I'd put, with a note explaining why.

Typo for 500mg [ x 2/j] ? Sur le clavier 'é' correspond à 2 = 2/day.

You may contact the client but I think it's the right interpretation.

I would contact the client. You don't want to get the dose wrong by guessing!
