English term

mg q.d.

English Medical Medical: Cardiology
A larger Phase II study in approximately 2000 patients, BISTRO-II (1160.19) tested four oral doses of BIBR 1048 (50 mg b.i.d., 150 mg b.i.d., **300 mg q.d.**, and 225 mg b.i.d.) for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients after elective hip or knee replacement surgery, compared to enoxaparin 40 mg q.d., administered subcutaneously.

I'd like to know the meaning of "q.d."
