standard dose
Recommended single quantity
A standard dose is the typical amount of a medication, supplement, or substance recommended for most people under normal circumstances.
It represents the middle ground—enough to be effective without excessive risk of side effects.
Doctors may adjust from the standard dose based on age, weight, or individual response: The standard dose is two tablets, but elderly patients often start with one.
