Taking medication 3 times a day is basically the same thing as taking it every 8 hours. When it says 3 times a day, you do not have to make sure it is exactly every 8 hours but just close to that time range.
TID means 3 times a day.
Literally it mean (it's so easy) every 12 hours.
q = every (as in q 8 hours)
Many times, but not every time.
q6h stand for every 6 hours, q=every and h=hours so you can also take it to mean qid or four times daily though the doses should be about 6 hours apart.
That means take it every 6 hours. 24 hours in a day, divided by 4 is 6.
QID stands for Quater In Die, which means four times a day or every six hours.The following are related:QD: Once a day.BID: Twice a day.TID: Three times a day.QxH: Every x hours where the x is the number of hours. For example: 2 tabs q4h means two tablets every 4 hours.Four times a day or every six hours
If the 5 times a day are exactly equally spaced, then it meansone dose every 4 hours 48 minutes.If you sleep 8 hours out of the 24, then 5 times a day meanswhen you wake up4 hours after the first one4 hours after the second one4 hours after the third one4 hours after the fourth one just before you go to sleep.
yep, it would be pretty stupid to wake up in the middle of the night 3 times to apply your eyedrops Six times a day means every four hours. But since you would be sleeping for at least eight hours and would probably not wake up to apply them, you can adjust the intervals of the application.
