What does "tid" or "TID" signify in a medication regimen?

Twice a day
Three times a day
Once a week
Every hour

The correct answer is: Three times a day

The term "tid," which stands for "ter in die" in Latin, indicates that a medication should be administered three times a day. This instruction is commonly used in prescription medications to ensure patients take their medication at regular intervals throughout the day, allowing for more consistent therapeutic effects and maintaining drug levels within the body. Understanding these abbreviations is crucial for medication aides, as it helps ensure safe and effective medication administration. Keeping a consistent dosing schedule minimizes the risk of missed doses and helps manage the condition being treated effectively.
