Pharmacological Regimen Consistency

Meaning

The strict, predictable adherence to the prescribed dosing, timing, and administration route of a pharmaceutical or hormonal therapy over the entire course of treatment. Consistency is paramount in endocrinology, where hormonal signaling relies on maintaining steady-state concentrations or precise pulsatile delivery to ensure receptor saturation and prevent undesirable feedback loop fluctuations. Deviation compromises therapeutic efficacy and increases the risk of side effects.
