drug regimen
Medication dosing plan
A drug regimen is a structured plan for taking medications—specifying which drugs, in what doses, how often, and for how long.
Doctors prescribe regimens for conditions requiring precise timing or multiple medications: The HIV drug regimen involves taking three pills daily.
Patients who don't follow their regimen risk treatment failure or drug resistance.
