How it's used
Originating from the context of traditional Chinese medicine, this phrase literally refers to picking another set of herbal ingredients. It has evolved into a common double entendre, frequently used in casual settings to imply sexual activity. The tone is highly informal and can be quite suggestive depending on the context.
Examples
The illness isn't better yet, the doctor says I need another dose of medicine.
You weren't satisfied last night, you want to go for another round?

Common mistake
Using this in a formal medical setting to ask for a refill might sound unintentionally humorous or vulgar to some listeners. Stick to 攞多劑藥 if you want to be strictly professional.
