I suspect these can be left as is, but what do they stand for?

the text is about a clinical analysis on Pentalong 50 mg.
Die Ergebnisse der vergleichenden Studie zur Bioverfuegbarkeit und Pharmakokinetik von Pentalong 50 mg t. i. d. und von Pentalong 80 mg b. i. d. sind mit den oben genannten nicht zu vergleichen, da ....
for t. i. d. i found total integrated dose or titrated initial dose which both do not seem to fit here and for b. i. d. I did not find anything at all.

Thanks
