It is always frustrating for a doctor if all the patient wants is the
signature on the prescription.  Unfortunately, the medication you have
in mind is not available: environments cannot be spread across table
cells.  So just scrap your prescription and rather tell us what you
want to have typeset instead of how you want to achieve it.

Each cell of a tabular is typeset in its own local group.  You cannot
have one group or environment split across different cells for that
reason.
