treatment regimen

Prescribed healing plan

A treatment regimen is a systematic plan for medical care, specifying what treatments to administer, in what doses, and on what schedule.

The term appears most often in contexts involving extended courses of therapy: The chemotherapy regimen lasted six months.

Regimen emphasizes the structured, disciplined nature of the plan—treatments aren't haphazard but follow a deliberate protocol.
