Most facilities have a specific time for bid or tid drugs. The specific patients condition will determine if the patient can take longer acting drugs, also the purpose for which the drug is taken should be considered. For example, Procardia is often used in OB nursing to prevent contractions in preterm labor patients. The patient should speak to the doctor concerning changing medications if need be.
