Drug dosing is a research area that focuses on determining the appropriate dosage of medication to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. This involves studying how different factors, such as age, weight, genetics, and overall health, can affect the way individuals respond to drugs. Researchers in this field work to optimize dosing regimens to ensure efficacy and safety in various patient populations, ranging from infants to the elderly. By understanding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, researchers aim to tailor dosing strategies to individual patients for personalized medicine.
