twice daily

Morning and evening

Twice daily means two times per day, typically with doses or activities spaced roughly twelve hours apart.

The phrase appears most often in medical contexts for medication schedules: Take one tablet twice daily with food.

Sometimes abbreviated b.i.d. in prescriptions, from the Latin *bis in die*.
