How many days would 30 capsules of a medication last if the directions were "i cap tid ac and hs"?

6 days
8 days
10 days
12 days


10 days

Rationale: This medication would last for 10 days. This is calculated as follows: one capsule three times per day = 3 capsules per day. So, 30 capsules divided by 3 per day = 10 days. The terms "ac" and "hs" mean that the patient should take the medication "before meals", and "at bedtime", but the amount of 3 capsules per day is how the length that this medication will last is calculated.
