A systematic framework for determining and adjusting the exact quantity of a therapeutic agent required to elicit a desired physiological effect in an individual, minimizing both sub-therapeutic dosing and potential toxicity. This methodology relies heavily on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data specific to the patient’s metabolic clearance. It is the application of exactitude in hormonal modulation.
Origin
This methodology is rooted in pharmacometrics and clinical pharmacology, adapted to the narrow therapeutic windows often associated with potent endocrine modulators. Precision ensures target receptor saturation without inducing negative feedback overshoot.
Mechanism
The process begins by establishing a measurable endpoint, often a specific free hormone level or target enzyme activity. Dosing adjustments are then made based on the patient’s clearance rate, which is influenced by factors like liver function and SHBG levels. This iterative titration, guided by follow-up diagnostics, locks the patient into their optimal functional window.
