This document discusses dosage regimen design and optimization. It explains that a dosage regimen administers drug therapy continuously or intermittently depending on factors like how quickly steady state needs to be achieved. The goal is to maintain drug concentrations within the therapeutic window while minimizing toxicity. Steady state concentration is where the drug level consistently stays, and the therapeutic window is the safe and effective dose range. Dosage regimens can involve continuous infusion, fixed doses at fixed intervals, or a loading dose followed by lower maintenance doses to rapidly reach the desired steady state concentration.
