three times daily
Every eight hours
Three times daily is a dosing instruction meaning something should be taken or done three times in a day, typically at evenly spaced intervals: Take two tablets three times daily with food.
Common on prescription labels and medication packaging, often abbreviated TID (from Latin *ter in die*).
The phrase implies regularity—morning, midday, and evening—rather than any random three moments.
