Titrateddose
Titrated dose refers to a dosage adjustment process in pharmacology and medicine. It involves gradually increasing or decreasing the amount of a medication to achieve a desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse reactions. This method is particularly useful when a patient's optimal dose is unknown or when the medication has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning the difference between an effective dose and a toxic dose is small.
The titration process typically begins with a low dose, which is then slowly increased at predetermined intervals.
Commonly, titration is employed in the management of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and psychiatric
