dose adjustment
Dose adjustment refers to the process of changing the amount of medication a patient takes to achieve the best results while minimizing side effects. This can be necessary due to factors like a patient’s age, weight, kidney or liver function, or any interactions with other medications. Healthcare providers monitor how well a treatment is working and may increase or decrease the dose accordingly. The goal is to ensure the medication is effective and safe, tailored to fit each individual’s unique health needs.
