TID stands for three times a day.

• A. QID
• B. TID
• C. BID
• D. Autoclave

Answer: (B)

In medical dosing, abbreviations describe how often to take a medication each day. TID stands for taking the dose three times daily, meaning you split the total daily amount into three administrations—usually spaced roughly eight hours apart (for example morning, afternoon, and night) to keep drug levels steadier. The other terms are different: QID means four times a day, BID means twice a day, and Autoclave is not a dosing instruction at all; it refers to a sterilization device. So TID correctly indicates three daily doses.
