What is this?

Responsio Scripta Avia is part of the Institute Pharmacy's formulary of satirical prescriptions. Everything on this slip is fictional except the behavior it addresses. A real pharmacist, handed this slip, would decline to fill it. Patients are invited to fill it themselves.

Patients know it in practice as Grandparent-Pressure Script, memorized — the Latin is ceremonial; the English form is what they actually execute.
