Dosing Frequency

Meaning

Dosing frequency refers to the clinical schedule dictating how often a pharmaceutical agent, hormone replacement therapy, or supplement is administered to a patient over a specified period. This parameter is a critical element of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, influencing the maintenance of therapeutic plasma concentrations and the minimization of undesirable side effects. Establishing the optimal frequency is essential for achieving a stable physiological effect, particularly in endocrine therapies where pulsatility is important.
