Does taking antibiotics twice a day mean morning and night? Yes, usually it is so. Twice a day means 12 hours apart, so it is more convenient to take 1 dose in the morning and 12 hours later, 1 dose at night.
q means every (for example: qday = every day; q6h = every 6 hours). qid means 4 times a day. Other commonly used abbreviations include BID (twice a day) and TID (3 times a day). however qid is no longer a recommended way of giving orders because it is easily confused with similar abbreviations.
