Medical - Medical (general) / Drug prescriptions
Danish term or phrase: stykk
In a list of the patient's medications, most have:
(Drug name), tabl., (dose), (number) tabletter (number of administrations and times of administration).
Example: "Cloriocard, filmovertrukne tabl., 75 mg, 1 tablet morgen."
However a few have:
Tbl. (Drug name), (dose), (number) stykk, (number of administrations and times of administration).
Example: "Unikalk Forte 400 mg Calcium + 19 pg D-vitam, tabletter, 1 stk morgen og aften".
I want to translate stk. (abbreviation for stykk) as "tablet" here as well (or whatever the unit of administration is called, e.g. packet or etc.).
Since I am not on firm ground, I have written "1 piece [sic]".
Is "tablet" correct for "stk"?

Explanation:
Yes, that's fine in the context. You certainly wouldn't want to translate it as 'piece'.
