t.i.d. (on prescription): Seen on a prescription, t.i.d. means three times a day. It is an abbreviation for ter in die which in Latin means three times a day. The abbreviation t.i.d. is sometimes written without a period either in lower-case letters as tid or in capital letters as TID.
TID = Three times a day. QID = Four times a day. However, The Joint Commission which acredits hospitals and nursing homes has recommended that these abbreviations be discontinued because they lead to errors in dosing. Now, physicians must write out the words, once a day, twice a day and so on.
