Microdosing

Words you meet in patient communities rather than on a label. Plateau, microdosing, switching.

Definition

Off-label use of doses below the approved range, to soften side effects or stretch a vial. Evidence is thin: the published randomized data were all run at approved doses. It is now sold as its own product tier, and whether it is cheaper than a standard dose depends far more on the commitment term than on the dose.
