Hi,
In the United States medical system:
bid= 2 times a day
tid = 3 times a day
qid= 4 times a day
They are latin abbreviations. So basically it says: 3-4 times a day, 2-3 times a day.
Hope this helps. : )
Hi. I am a nursing student. We often utilized the abbreviations "BID, TID, QID" in the hospital.
BID -- two times a day
TID -- three times a day
QID -- four times a day
PRN -- when needed
Please refer to Medical Terminology books for further clarifications as needed.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day.
TID MEANS THREE X A DAY
QID MEANS FOUR X A DAY
BID MEANS TWICE A DAY
