Detailed explanation-1: -qd (on prescription): Seen on a prescription, qd (or, written with periods, q.d.) means one a day (from the Latin quaque die). The abbreviation is sometimes written without a period in capital letters as “QD".
Detailed explanation-2: -QID and Q6H are abbreviations used by medical professionals to indicate how many times a day you should take a medication and at what intervals. QID means a dose should be taken four times daily, while Q6H means that dose should be taken every six hours.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are more an English translation from the Latin TID (stands for ter in die which translates to three times a day) or QID (stands for quater in die which translates to four times a day) that doctors will write on a prescription so a pharmacist can write instructions on the label about how many times to take it.
