Slovak to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Therapy for broken hip
Slovak term or phrase: BDK
In Slobak medical report, patient broke hip and had hip replacement surgery, under "Terapia" section, there is a list of may drugs and how they are to be administered, below I cite the last part:

"Abaktal 400 mg tbl. 1-0-1, BDK, molit.dlaha"

I understand everything except "BDK", which has a comma on both sides, thus I do not know if it goes with what precedes it, with what goes after it, or whether it is on its own.

I know "DK" often means "lower extremity", not sure if the "DK" here may mean that.

I was also thinking "BDK" might be initials for a medical company, but can't find anything. I am translating "molit. dlaha" as "plastic foam splint".

Appreciate any help with "BDK" and what it means in English.
