When a medication is prescribed as q.3h., it indicates that the medication should be taken every three hours. This notation is derived from the Latin term "quaque 3 horas," which specifically means at intervals of three hours.

In practice, this means if an individual were to take the medication at, for example, 8:00 AM, the next doses would be at 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and so on, maintaining the three-hour interval between each dose. Understanding this terminology is crucial in medication management to ensure proper dosing and to avoid potential complications that might arise from missed or incorrectly timed doses.
