The composition of the medicine looks like Hyaluronic acid.It is given for many orthopaedic conditions like knee pain due to Osteoarthritis.
The normal adult dose is 1gm (Two 500mg tablets) x 4 times a day(QD).
Bid means twice daily,Tid means thrice daily,Qid means Four times daily.
It works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints.
