What is the abbreviation for drop?

The correct answer is: Gtt

The abbreviation for "drop" is "gtt," derived from the Latin term "gutta," which means drop. This abbreviation is commonly used in medical and pharmaceutical contexts to indicate dosage forms, particularly for liquid medications administered in drops, such as eye drops or ear drops. Using standardized abbreviations like "gtt" is important for clear communication among healthcare professionals, ensuring that the intended dosage is accurately administered. Other options do not represent the term "drop" in medical terminology. "Drp," "gd," and "Dp" are not recognized abbreviations within the context of medication administration. Thus, "gtt" remains the correct and widely accepted abbreviation for drop.
