Combination Therapy

Meaning

Combination Therapy, in a clinical context, refers to the concurrent use of two or more distinct therapeutic agents or modalities to treat a single condition or achieve a more comprehensive physiological outcome. This strategy is employed when a single agent is insufficient, or when combining agents allows for lower, safer doses of each component, potentially reducing side effects while enhancing efficacy. Within hormonal health, it often involves administering multiple hormones or coupling hormonal agents with non-hormonal pharmaceutical or lifestyle interventions. The rationale is to leverage different mechanisms of action to address the multifactorial nature of complex health issues.
