I am researching in a medical journal about methamphetamine and came across a dosage of 4 mg BID methamphetamine. What does the BID mean?

b.i.d. (on prescription): Seen on a prescription, b.i.d. means twice (two times) a day. It is an abbreviation for "bis in die" which in Latin means twice a day. The abbreviation b.i.d. is sometimes written without a period either in lower-case letters as "bid" or in capital letters as "BID".

It means "twice a day". The words BID stand for are Latin, don't remember what they are, but it means that 4 mg of methamphetamine was given or prescribed twice daily.
Hope this helped.

It's latin (a lot of medical jargon is) for "bi-daily", just as t.i.d is thrice daily and q.i.d is quad-daily (4 times a day).

b.i.d. [Latin.] bis in di'e (twice a day).
Please also note the following:-
t.i.d. [Latin.] ter in di'e (three times a day)
q.i.d. [Latin.] qua'ter in di'e (four times a day).
