It comes from the Latin phrase, "ter in die" meaning "three times per day." For example if your prescription was written as:
Amoxicillin 250mg 1 cap po tid x 10 days (usually in almost illegible handwriting!)
This would mean you are to take one Amoxicillin 250mg capsule by mouth three times daily for 10 days.
("po" is another Latin phrase, "per os" or "by mouth")
