    The ā medical abbreviation means before.

    Explanation:

    The ā (a with bar over it, coming from the Latin word "ante")

    An example would be:

    Omeprazole 40 mg/tab, 1 tab po od ā. am meal

    Take 1 tab of Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before AM meal or breakfast.

    But the use of a. c. (before meals) or q. a. m. (every morning) is more acceptable.

    "ante" is used as a prefix to indicate "before" or "in front of" as in antecedent and antique.
