Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / daily dosage of drug

Danish term or phrase: 200 mg engang to

This is a medical abbreviation and comes in the list of medication taken daily in a patient's medical records.

It comes up several times.

Tablet Drug AAA 100 mg 1 x 2 dagligt
Tablet Drug BBB 200 mg en gang to
Tablet Drug CCC ... 2 tabletter efter behov
...
Tablet Drug PPP 10 mg engang to
Tablet Drug QQQ 5 mg en om aftenen

Etc.

The patent takes quite a lot of medications, some analgesics, and I can understand most of the directions but not this one!

Thanks for any suggestions!

one twice daily

Explanation:
It's a typo -- should be "en gang to" as elsewhere. In other words, the patient takes one of the specified tablets twice daily. See the link for examples. (It's the same as the "1 x 2 dagligt".)

Thanks!
Obvious when you can see it, but it was a slightly tricky text. Voice recognition, I suspect from some of the other errors, and a non-native doctor.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks, that sounds quite possible. It is certainly not the only typo in this text.
