Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries prescriptions are now transmitted electronically, so patients often hear this phrase from clinics or from the pharmacy itself. The verb *mandar* is informal; in a more formal setting you might hear *enviar* or *remitir*. Also, when speaking to a stranger or a professional, you may replace *tu* with the formal *su* (e.g., *su receta*).
