Final answer:

The medication dose per administration would be approximately 66.67 mg when the daily dosage of 200 mg is given three times a day (tid).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daily dosage of a medication is 200 mg and the medication is given tid (which stands for 'ter in die' or 'three times a day'), we can calculate the amount given per dose. To find the dose amount per administration, we divide the total daily dosage by the number of doses to be given in a day.

So the calculation would be:

  • 200 mg total daily dosage รท 3 doses per day = 66.67 mg per dose

Hence, approximately 66.67 mg of the medication would be administered in each dose when given tid.
