why do we have to take medicines at the same intervals everyday and not just take them for example 2 times whenever we like? Is there a specific advantage to it being spaced out over a longer period of time or is it just to keep track of what I’m taking?

Everyone here gave good answers, but I will also add that the cycle of medication in the market is typically that the first person to come out with a new medicine gets it out ok the market without many features. So, you have this shiny new medicine that lots of people want to start using, but maybe you need to be taking a big capsule 3 times a day. Then other drug manufacturers come alone with the same or similar medication with better features like a more precise delivery method or a pill you only have to take once a day ect. Number of pills needed per day is one of the most common improvements we see drug manufacturers make post release.
