From Lesson 193:Reported commands·Farsi

Questions & Answers about دکتر این ویتامین را تجویز کرد تا زودتر بهبود یابم.

The current lesson focuses on using که + subjunctive for commands. Why do we use تا + subjunctive here?
They work on the exact same logic! While verbs of commanding use که to introduce a requested action, تا means "so that" or "in order to". It introduces the purpose or desired outcome of the prescription, which hasn't happened yet, so it also requires the present subjunctive (بهبود یابم).
If بهبود یابم is in the present subjunctive, where is the typical بـ (be-) prefix?
The infinitive is بهبود یافتن (to recover), and its present stem is یاب (yâb). In Farsi compound verbs, it is very common to drop the بـ prefix, especially with the verb یافتن. You could technically say بهبود بیابم, but dropping the prefix to say بهبود یابم is standard and sounds very natural.
Why is the object marker را placed after این ویتامین instead of immediately after ویتامین?
The word را marks the entire specific direct object. Since این (this) belongs with ویتامین (vitamin) to form a single chunk of meaning ("this vitamin"), را must go at the very end of that complete phrase.
How is زودتر formed, and how does it fit into the sentence?
It comes from زود (zud), which means "early" or "fast". By adding the comparative suffix ـتر (-tar), it becomes "earlier" or "faster". It acts as an adverb here, placed right before the verb it modifies to show how the recovery should happen.
