TID means:

  1. Once a day

  2. Three times a day

  3. Two times a day

  4. Four times a day

The correct answer is: Three times a day

The abbreviation TID stands for "ter in die," which is a Latin phrase that translates to "three times a day." This term is commonly used in medical prescriptions and documentation to instruct that a medication should be taken or administered three times during a 24-hour period. This frequency helps ensure that medication levels in the body remain effective and stable, depending on the medication’s intended use and pharmacokinetics. Understanding such abbreviations is crucial for patient care technicians, as it ensures accurate medication administration and adherence to prescribed treatment regimens.
