It's a very short text - unfortunately I can't provide further context due to the need for discretion. I'd agree that some form of suppository seems most likely. Thanks very much for your help, everyone.
Salam Alrawi Apr 2, 2009:
is there any diagnosis or clinical features with the case?
With regards to the explanation/clarification given, I agree with Nesrin, and tend to believe it could be a suppository. Can not confirm though if no further text is given.
Nesrin Apr 1, 2009:
So from the added context it appears that she forgot to take her medicine from 9 am till 12pm the following day. But what kind of dosage الحشا is we're still to find out.. capsule? suppository? Possibly a word commonly used in a local dialect.
Matthew Beeston (X) (asker) Apr 1, 2009:
More context... The word also appears as a response in the following section (the section heading is in English in the source text): "Dosage being used: واحده حشا"
Thanks all for your help - glad to know I'm not the only one confused!
Nesrin Apr 1, 2009:
Another weird bit: "الساعه التاسعه صباح ليله امس"... why not just الساعه التاسعه صباح امس? Nine o'clock isn't exactly one of the small hours of the morning!
Nesrin Apr 1, 2009:
With Lina - more context may give us a better idea of the patient's situation. It may be a typo for some other word.
More clarification is required, the next answer maybe?? or any other clue because it is not clear at all now.

حشا هو مفرد أحشاء

الحشا هو كل عضو موجود في تجاويف الرأس أو الصدر أو البطن كالقلب والدماغ والمعدة وغيرها. جمعها أحشاء
http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/حشا

هذا بالنسبة لمعنى كلمة حشا بوجه عام

ولكني أشتبه في معنى آخر أيضاً وهو حشو الأسنان
tooth filler
لأنه يتفق مع فكرة النسيان، فيمكننا أن نتخيل أن المتصلة نسيت حشو الأسنان بجانب السرير قبل أن تنام مثلاً ولم تضعه في فمها لفترة وتريد أن تستفسر عن ذلك، على اعتبار أن الحشو غير ثابت

طبعاً السياق ينهي هذه الخيالات ويحدد أيهما أدق
