It is known as the usual dose. Everyone is prescribed a different amount of a drug based on how much they weigh.

A maintenance dose is the maintenance rate [mg/h] of drug administration equal to the rate of elimination at steady state.


A loading dose is an initial higher dose of a drug that may be given at the beginning of a course of treatment before dropping down to a lower maintenance dose.


Minimum dose is the smallest dose of a medicine or drug that will produce an effect.
