This appears in a list of medications received by a patient hospitalized for possible kidney transplant rejection:
"MYCOSTATIN 1 scq x 4"
I can't find this "scq" in any of my resources. What does it stand for in Italian, and how would we write it in Italian?
Thank you for your help.

rinse (and swish)
Mycostatin is an oral suspension. The patient should rinse and swish the suspension around the mouth 4 times a day.
In your case I would say:
Use 4 times a day.

MYCOSTATIN ORAL SUSPENSION
DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE
INFANTS: The usual dose is 1 mL to 2 mL (100 000 to 200 000 units) four times daily, dropped into the mouth.
CHILDREN AND ADULTS: The usual dose is 1 mL to 2 mL (100 000 to 200 000 units) four times daily, dropped into the mouth and held for some time before swallowing. This dose may be increased to 4 mL to 6 mL (400 000 to 600 000 units) four times daily for more severe infections.
(On administration by dropper, the suspension readily disperses throughout the mouth, and is compatible with commonly used antimicrobial agents, and may be given concomitantly with these agents).
The suspension should be retained in the mouth for as long as possible (e.g., several minutes) before swallowing. In infants and young children, apply one-half of dose in each side of mouth.
The dosage regimen for nystatin for oral suspension should be continued for at least 48 hours after symptoms have disappeared.
NOTE: If significant regenerations or repair of oral tissue has not occurred in seven days, additional investigation into the etiology of the oral lesion is advised.
