Pharmaceuticals -The Sorceries of Babylon

The Rx symbol has another interpretation that provides an interesting perspective. "Rx is an abbreviation for the Latin word 'recipere' or 'recipe,' which means 'Take, thou.'" (What does the pharmacist's symbol "Rx" mean?) This is an expression of a command to receive the drug/spell being offered. The interpretation of Rx as 'recipere' acknowledges the symbol as an inducement to receive the pharmakeia.
This compares to the inducement inherent in the name "PositiveId," the implantable microchip family of companies recently renamed from Verichip. "PositiveId" can be understood as equivalent to, "accept (acceptance-Positive) the mark (Id)" of the Beast.
These two inducements, "take, thou" and "accept the mark," have already teamed up, with the implantable microchip functioning as a Rx delivery system and as a means of linking the chipped person with their medical records, including their Rx!
Here's a quote from a source where the author rejected the 'recipere' interpretation in favor of the Rx symbol as a reference to Jupiter. (Jupiter is an alias for the Beast and the dragon who gives him his power, comparing to Horus, Zeus or Apollo.) "Rx is not, as is frequently supposed, an abbreviation of a Latin word meaning recipe or compound, but is an invocation to Jupiter, a prayer for his aid to make the treatment effective…sometimes in old medical manuscripts all the R's occurring in the text were crossed." (Devils, Drugs, and Doctors (1931)) The author makes a good point based upon the observation that 'R's were crossed in the old medical manuscripts.
It seems obvious to me that the Rx symbol is an invocation to Jupiter, seeing how it was a Watcher who taught men about spells and the cutting of roots. Such an invocation of aid from Jupiter is the invitation for a curse, biblically and truthfully. It may well be said that the familiar Rx symbol is an accursed graven image.
