Dosing interval
Dosage interval , also dose interval , is the time interval between repeated therapeutic administrations when a drug is administered multiple times . The dosing interval is part of a drug dosing schedule . In the case of long-term medication , this should ensure that, on the one hand, an effective blood level of the drug is guaranteed and, on the other hand, there is no accumulation. Thus, the biological half-life of the drug has a significant influence on the determination of the dosage interval.
