0.04233 ounces of medicine in a day.

Explanation:

As 400 milligrams of medicine is prescribed every 8 hours, but there are 24 hours in a day, one takes 3 prescriptions or

400xx3=1200 milligrams of medicine

There are 1000 milligrams in every gram, hence it is equal to 1200/1000=1.2 grams.

Now each ounce is 28.35 grams, therefore each gram is 1/28.35 grams

and 1.2 gramss is 1.2/28.35 ounces i.e. 0.04233 ounces.
