therapeutic doses
Curative quantity prescribed
Therapeutic doses are amounts of a drug or treatment sufficient to produce a desired medical effect without causing harm.
The term distinguishes effective treatment levels from amounts too small to work or large enough to be toxic.
The medication is safe at therapeutic doses but dangerous in excess.
Doctors adjust therapeutic doses based on a patient's weight, age, and condition.
