Question: What is the interpretation when the doctor says, " twice a day or 3 times a day," when he prescribes medicine.?
When you take medicine with the instruction, "twice a day," does this mean that your 2nd dose will come only after 12 hours; or does it mean that you are to take your medicine once in the morning and once in the evening.? How about 3 times a day.?Health Question & Answer

when a doctor says twice a day it means take a tablet one in the morning and one in the evening when they say 3 times a day they mean one when you get up one at lunch and one before you go to bed.Health Question & Answer
