English term or phrase: bd
Acronym

This acronym appears after the name of a drug, which makes me think that it must be the dosage: Pulmicort 200-2 puffs bd. Is this from the latin "bis die" (twice a day)? Also, could you suggest an URL where I could check English names of drugs and find the equivalent used in Spain?
