The patient bought 60 tablets of a maintenance medication to be taken BID for 15 days. How many tablets will the patient take for each dose?

Answer 1

Hi, Full Disclosure, not trained in pharmacology here--this popped up in my feed because of the "chemistry" and "science" tags. As a result, if I'm missing something, apologies--this is just my best guess.

However, based on my knowledge:

BID=twice a day

60 tablets/15 days = 4 tablets/day

Since the patient is taking their medications twice a day, this is 2 tablets per dose.

Again, apologies if I'm missing something, this is just my best attempt at using intuition.
