2. Dosage (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosage_(pharmacology)

   Dosage typically includes information on the number of doses, intervals between administrations, and the overall treatment period. [3] For example, a dosage might be described as "200 mg twice daily for two weeks," where 200 mg represents the individual dose, twice daily indicates the frequency, and two weeks specifies the duration of treatment.

3. Clark's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark's_rule

   Clark's rule is a medical term referring to a mathematical formula used to calculate the proper dosage of medicine for children aged 2–17 based on the weight of the patient and the appropriate adult dose. [1] The formula was named after Cecil Belfield Clarke (1894–1970), a Barbadian physician who practiced throughout the UK, the West Indies ...

4. Dosage form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosage_form

   The term dosage form may also sometimes refer only to the pharmaceutical formulation of a drug product's constituent substances, without considering its final configuration as a consumable product (e.g., capsule, patch, etc.). Due to the somewhat ambiguous nature and overlap of these terms within the pharmaceutical industry, caution is ...

5. Pharmaceutical formulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_formulation

   A low drug load may cause homogeneity problems. A high drug load may pose flow problems or require large capsules if the compound has a low bulk density. By the time phase III clinical trials are reached, the formulation of the drug should have been developed to be close to the preparation that will ultimately be used in the market. A knowledge ...

6. Dose (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose_(biochemistry)

   In single-dose scenarios, the patient's body weight and the drug's recommended dose per kilogram are used to determine a safe one-time dose. If multiple doses of treatment are needed in a day, the physician must take into account information regarding the total amount of the drug which is safe to use in one day, and how that should be broken up ...

7. Drug titration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_titration

   Drug titration is the process of adjusting the dose of a medication for the maximum benefit without adverse effects. [ 1 ] When a drug has a narrow therapeutic index , titration is especially important, because the range between the dose at which a drug is effective and the dose at which side effects occur is small. [ 2 ]

8. Maintenance dose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintenance_dose

   In pharmacokinetics, a maintenance dose is the maintenance rate [mg/h] of drug administration equal to the rate of elimination at steady state. This is not to be confused with dose regimen , which is a type of drug therapy in which the dose [mg] of a drug is given at a regular dosing interval on a repetitive basis.

9. Volume of distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_distribution

   In pharmacology, the volume of distribution (V D, also known as apparent volume of distribution, literally, volume of dilution [1]) is the theoretical volume that would be necessary to contain the total amount of an administered drug at the same concentration that it is observed in the blood plasma.
