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.
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.
