Adjusting Injection Schedule

Meaning

The deliberate modification of the frequency, timing, or interval of a prescribed injectable medication, such as a hormone replacement therapy, to optimize therapeutic effect and maintain stable physiological hormone levels. This clinical practice is guided by serial laboratory data and patient-reported symptoms, aiming to minimize supraphysiological peaks and sub-physiological troughs. This individualized approach is essential for achieving hormonal equilibrium and mitigating potential side effects associated with inconsistent pharmacokinetics.
