medication 4 times a day
Answers (4) You have not mentioned the name of the medicine in your post. Ideally 4 times a day means every 6 hours. It depends on what the medicine is as to how rigid you should be in regards to dosing. If the medicine is an antibiotic then every 6 hour dosing is important as is pain relief medication if in severe pain. If the dosing isn't so critical then 4 times a day could be evenly spaced out during the waking hours.
