What does BID stand for in the context of how frequently a medication should be taken?

Three times a day
Two times a day
Every other day
Once a day

Explanation

Answer: B - The medical abbreviation BID stands for twice a day. Three times a day is TID, every other day is QOD, and once a day is QD.

When seen on a prescription, b.i.d. means twice (two times) a day. It is an abbreviation for "bis in die" which in Latin means twice a day. Sometimes is written without periods either in lowercase letters as "bid" or in capital letters as "BID".
