In reply to PARNATE high-dose strategy and diminishing returns, posted by vanvog on April 10, 2013, at 18:43:12
Law of diminishing returns - it applies to most drugs to some degree, depending on their dose/response curve
For example, 2 Tylenol gives a certain degree of pain relief, doubling the dose to 4 tablets doesnt double the pain relief
This doesnt mean that in certain cases, it isnt worth pushing the dose to high levels if needed, you just need to keep in mind that it isnt as simple as "increase dose by 20%, increase response by 50%", you might increaase it more or less than that depending on the drug
