How Does Dosage Determine the Therapeutic Effect?

The principle of dosage is fundamental in toxicology. The therapeutic effect is determined by the dose-response relationship, which describes how the response to a drug changes with varying doses. A substance can have therapeutic, toxic, or lethal effects depending on the dose administered. The key is to find the therapeutic window or index, which is the range of doses that produces a therapeutic response without causing significant adverse effects.
