Hormonal Therapy Dosing

Meaning

Hormonal therapy dosing is the precise clinical determination of the quantity, frequency, and route of administration for exogenous hormones or hormone-modulating agents to achieve a specific therapeutic outcome while minimizing adverse effects. This process is highly individualized, relying on a patient’s clinical presentation, baseline endocrine profile, and therapeutic goals. Effective dosing requires continuous monitoring of circulating hormone levels and clinical biomarkers to maintain physiological equilibrium, or homeostasis, within a target range. In the context of wellness, appropriate dosing is the critical factor that distinguishes beneficial hormone optimization from potential endocrine disruption.
