every 8 hours
Three times daily
Every 8 hours means three times per day at equal intervals—a dosing frequency common in medicine: Take two tablets every 8 hours.
The phrase emphasizes regularity rather than specific clock times, though it typically translates to morning, afternoon, and bedtime.
Variations include every 4 hours, every 12 hours, and so on.
