Does the doctor's letter identify the medicine as being labeled only in Hebrew?

Also, even if the medicine is labeled in Hebrew, it should have an instruction/information insert, (as [B]Jazzop[B] pointed out,) which if dispensed legally in Israel, should be written in Hebrew, Arabic, and English (as well as the occasional French and/or Spanish). That would include the name of the medicine as well. That could also help.
