The abbreviation "TID" stands for "ter in die," which is Latin for "three times a day." This term is commonly used in medical settings to indicate that a medication should be taken or administered three times within a 24-hour period. Properly interpreting these abbreviations is essential for ensuring accurate medication administration and patient safety.

The other terms are distinct in their meanings: "BID" indicates "twice a day," "QID" means "four times a day," and "PRN" refers to medications that are given "as needed." Understanding these abbreviations helps in correctly following prescriptions and providing the appropriate care to patients.
