What does DOSAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The size and frequency of a dose of a medicine or drug, or the amount of a substance such as radiation taken in at one time.
Dosage covers not just how much of a medicine a person takes but also how often they take it, since a doctor prescribing treatment has to fix both parts together. The word extends beyond medicine to any measured exposure, so a report on radiation safety can talk about dosage just as a pharmacy label does. Getting the dosage wrong, in either direction, is one of the most common causes of treatment failure or harm.
How DOSAGE is used
Medical and pharmaceutical; used for the measured amount and frequency of a drug or similar substance.
- The doctor adjusted the dosage after the patient reported side effects.
- The label warns against exceeding the recommended dosage.
- Children usually need a much smaller dosage than adults.
- The pharmacist double-checked the dosage before filling the prescription.
- Radiation dosage is measured carefully during every scan.
