> does BID typcially mean morning and night?

Yes. It could also mean noon and midnight, but its a general direction for twice a day, it comes from Latin which is used to this day for shorthand prescription writing... bis in die, or twice a day.

Some abbreviation searches :

I'm sure Ed on here can give me a better list.

So trileptal 300 would be *T (dotted T) bid, per the PDR. Although I take it **TT qd. I think thats how its written. I could be wrong.


I think its part of the medical conspiracy to confuse patients... j/k :). There must be a course or contest in medical school on how to write in the worst signatures possible.
