Dosing regimen
A dosing regimen outlines how and when a medication should be taken to ensure its effectiveness and safety. It specifies the amount of the drug (dose), how often (frequency), and the duration of treatment (timing). Following the prescribed regimen helps maintain the right level of medication in your body, avoiding underdosing (which may be ineffective) or overdosing (which can cause side effects). Healthcare providers determine this plan based on your condition, age, weight, and other factors. Adhering to the dosing regimen is essential for achieving the best possible health outcome.
