Patients sometimes expect to receive a prescription after every consultation with their GP, however this is not always appropriate. | Nid yw presgripsiynau bob amser yn angenrheidiol. Mae cleifion weithiau’n disgwyl cael presgripsiwn ar ôl pob ymgynghoriad gyda’u Meddyg Teulu, ond nid yw hyn bob amser yn briodol. |
| Antibiotics are not effective for viral infections such as colds or flu. | Nid yw gwrthfiotigau yn effeithiol ar gyfer heintiau firaol megis annwyd neu ffliw. |
