every 8 hrs
TID stands for three times a day so it would be recommended to space them 8 hours apart if possible.
TID means three times per day - usually 8 am, 2 pm and 8 pm (but if needed to be taken evenly over a 24 hour period, then the dosing schedule would be 8 am, 4 pm and 12 midnight).
every 8 hours
med should be given every 8 hours from start..
Taking medication 3 times a day is basically the same thing as taking it every 8 hours. When it says 3 times a day, you do not have to make sure it is exactly every 8 hours but just close to that time range.
q = every (as in q 8 hours)
