guidelines for dose adjustment

Dose adjustment involves changing the amount of medication a person takes to ensure safety and effectiveness. Factors like age, kidney or liver function, weight, and how a person responds to the medication can influence these adjustments. If an organ is less efficient, smaller doses may be needed to prevent side effects. Conversely, if someone is very sensitive or has certain conditions, the dose might be reduced. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions, as they consider these factors to determine the safest and most effective dose for you. Never alter your medication without professional guidance.
