I means you take one capsule at two different points throughout the day. You may want to ask your pharmacist whether they're to be taken one in the morning and one at night, or one in the morning and one in early after, etc. Also, it help to know whether your medication needs to be taken with food so you can plan around meals. Usually, it's eight to twelve hours between doses, as a rule of thumb.

∙ 15y agoIf you've been told to take a medication "2 times daily", this means that you should take the appropriate dose two times during your waking hours, with several hours between doses. It would be more common to include how many pills you are to take at each time, as in:
"2 tablets twice daily" or "1 to 2 capsules 2 times daily" so that you know how much to take at each time.
Importantly, the amount of time between doses also matters. Sometimes, your doctor will recommend that you keep the two doses as close to 12 hours apart as possible, so that you'll want to take one in the morning and then one at about bedtime or so. Other times, the medication might make you sleepy and you might need to take both doses in the evening, or conversely take a stimulating medicine earlier in the day to facilitate sleeping at night. You should check with the prescribing doctor for more clear instructions if you have any questions.
