Symptom-Driven Dosing

Meaning

A clinical methodology for titrating hormone replacement therapy or other pharmacological interventions where the patient’s subjective clinical symptoms and quality of life indicators are the primary guide for dose adjustments, used in conjunction with objective laboratory data. This approach prioritizes the patient’s functional well-being over strict adherence to population-based reference ranges alone. It acknowledges the significant individual variability in hormone receptor sensitivity and metabolism.
