This is a list of precribed medication... It goes as follows:
SELOKEN LP - 200mg - Comprimé pelliculé à libération prolongée
1/2 comprimé - Matin
Tous les jours -[[[ TTF]]]
I was told that it means that the medication must be taken at the same time every day... Is this correct? And if so, is there an abbreviation?
Thanks!

SJLD
: this might be the "translation" for "tous les jours" but not for TTF/ the question was "is there an abbreviation for the 'medication must be taken at the same time every day' ?"

The question was is there an abbreviation for everyday but I am sure you did not even try to understand that much.

Discussion
Answer 1. No, it's not correct.
Answer 2. If it were, there is no abbreviation for "take at same time every day" as far as I know
The abbreviation q.d. simply means "every day".
