Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) Initial Practice Exam

BID is commonly used to indicate how often a medication should be administered.

Three times daily Once daily Every 6 hours Twice daily

Correct Answer:

Twice daily

Explanation:

Understanding dosing abbreviations: BID means the drug is given two times in 24 hours. This is typically split about 12 hours apart, such as morning and evening, to keep blood levels stable. It is not three times daily (tid), not once daily (qd or q24h), and not every 6 hours (q6h). Therefore, BID corresponds to twice daily.
