Prescribed

Paraenesis Risus Suppressa

(Laugh Suppression, when content is absent)

Dosage	Zero (0) involuntary laughter responses deployed during non-humorous statements
Frequency	Continuous across all conversation
Duration	Permanent reflex adjustment
Refills	Unlimited — the silence is, apparently, an acceptable response

Side effects May include the specific discomfort of a moment that passes without patient's vocal contribution, the phantom urge to cover with 'sorry, just processing,' and — critically — the observation that a coworker's announcement of their mother's surgery did not, on reflection, require the laugh.

The pharmacy's plain-language rendering is Laugh Suppression, when content is absent. The Latin is for the slip; the English reading is for filling it at home.
