Hormone Replacement Regimen

Meaning

A Hormone Replacement Regimen constitutes the prescribed, structured schedule for administering exogenous hormones to restore physiological balance when endogenous production is insufficient or imbalanced. This regimen must account for the specific hormone type, the target tissue’s physiological requirements, and the patient’s unique kinetic profile. Successful implementation aims to mimic natural pulsatile or diurnal patterns to maximize efficacy while minimizing adverse effects associated with supraphysiological dosing. It is a cornerstone of managing endocrine insufficiency.
