Everyone will get sick sometimes, in which many people buy medicine from medical for minor and major ailments. But sometimes if there is more trouble, one has to go to the doctor. But really it is necessary to consult a doctor in case of minor or major illness. Many of us must have gone to the doctor but we do not pay much attention to what the doctor prescribes because it is not our subject. In which the doctor properly examines the patient and writes the code word about his medicine in his prescription. Although the doctor tries to ensure that the patient understands the dosage of the medicine correctly, it is very difficult to understand this language of the doctor. As they have words like BID and BD written in them most of the people do not know what this means. But today we know such a codeword.

In Latin 'BID' means bis in die twice a day. Doctors only prescribe BID

In fact the food codes that are written before medicine are often written in Latin. And it is written in short form. That is, the full form of BID is Latin, 'bis in die'. In Latin, bis in die means twice a day. Doctor just writes BID and runs the job. Everyone should know about food related codes.
