Which dosage schedule is indicated by the abbreviation "tid"?

Four times a day
Three times a day
Every bedtime
Once daily

The correct answer is: Three times a day

The abbreviation "tid" stands for "ter in die," which is Latin for "three times a day." This dosage schedule indicates that a medication should be taken three times throughout the day, typically spaced evenly to maintain consistent levels of the medication in the body. Understanding abbreviations like "tid" is crucial for proper medication management and ensuring that patients adhere to their recommended treatment regimens. The other options represent different frequencies that do not align with "tid." For example, "four times a day" would typically be denoted as "qid" (quater in die), while "every bedtime" refers to a different specific timing for dosage, and "once daily" would simply be indicated by "qd" (quaque die).
