Titration

Definition

Adjusting a medication dose in steps over time, guided by patient response and tolerance, rather than prescribing a fixed dose from the start.

Titration is standard in GLP-1 therapy and common in hormone therapy. The patient starts at a low dose and steps up on a protocol schedule as tolerance allows.

Clinically it reduces side effects. Operationally it means the product a patient receives changes over their lifetime, which most subscription billing systems cannot express.

A correct implementation gates the step on a check-in, so the provider sees reported side effects and progress before the dose moves and before the next charge.

Why it matters

If billing runs on a calendar rather than the ship event and the dose actually dispensed, a titrating program will misbill from the first dose change onward.

FAQ

Titration, in practice

The charge has to follow the dose and the ship date rather than a calendar. PharmaBro's rebill engine is dose-aware and bills on the day the pharmacy ships, which a generic subscription object cannot do.
