What does "tid" represent in medication dosing instructions?

  1. tablet

  2. three times a day

  3. topical (on the skin)

  4. immediately; at once

The correct answer is: three times a day

"tid" is a Latin abbreviation for "ter in die," which means "three times a day." This is a common dosing instruction typically used for oral medications. Option A is incorrect because "tablet" is typically represented by "tab" in medication dosing instructions. Option C is incorrect because "topical" is typically represented by "top" or the name of the specific topical medication in medication dosing instructions. Option D is incorrect because "immediately" is typically represented by "now" or the time interval in which the medication should be taken in medication dosing instructions.
