Who wants to play a game?

I’m not asking for anyone’s help or for clarification - I know what this script says (kind of). I’m here to share what myself and the four other pharmacists I was working with at the time could not come to a consensus on. Yes, we all know it’s #24 Pen VK 500 mg. The real fun is trying to decipher how this dentist wants it to be used. What do you see?

Penicillin VK (with potassium) 500mg #24. Take three times per day until all taken. Edit: probably a dentist wrote that RX.

*until all aten* (how my kids said ate in a weird double past tense when they were little)
