Dávková

Dávková is a Czech adjective formed from dávka, meaning dose. It is used in medicine and pharmacology to describe concepts related to dosage. In medical and pharmaceutical terminology the feminine form often appears in terms such as dávková forma (dosage form), which refers to the physical form in which a drug is produced and administered (for example tablets, capsules, solutions), and dávková jednotka (dosage unit), a measure used to express how much of a drug is given. The adjective agrees with the gender of the noun it modifies, with masculine form dávkový and neuter form dávkové.

In pharmacology and clinical guidelines, dávková terms help distinguish properties tied to quantity or administration schedules from other attributes. Phrases such as dávková rutina or dávkovací režim are related to dosing schedules, though the more common construction may use the masculine or neutral forms depending on the noun that follows.

Dávková can also occur as a surname in Czech and Slovak naming conventions, where the feminine form is typically marked by the suffix -ová. In such cases, Dávková denotes a woman bearing a family name derived from a root connected to dose-related terms or from an ancestral surname. The corresponding masculine form would usually be Dávkov or Dávka, depending on regional naming patterns. This reflects a broader Slavic pattern in which feminine surnames carry -ová while masculine forms do not.
