SID = 1 x a day
BID = 2x a day
TID =3x a day
QID is 4x a day
Anymore than that you go on iv drip lol.

SID? Once a day is QD
-AC means before meals
-PC =after meals
-QHS =take every night at bedtime
-any doses more frequent or at hourly intervals are designated with "Q" in front of a #-ie One dose every 6 or 8 hours is Q6h or Q8h,ect.

SID? Once a day is QD

UH.. No. SID is singular, one time a day. QD is every day. basically the same meaning but those are the proper medical usages. Q means every as you noted. SI, BI ect designate a number.
