Individualized Dosing Treatment Plans for Adult Patients (Compounding) Live

Not all adult patients metabolize, tolerate, or respond to medications in the same ways, yet prescribing often relies on standardized doses, dosage forms, and schedules. Individualized dosing, including adjustments to the drug, dose, route, frequency, or formulation tailored to the patient, is an important component of patient-centered care and shared decision-making. With polypharmacy increasingly common in adults, particularly older adults, ensuring medication regimens align with patient-specific needs has become a routine part of clinical practice. This continuing education activity provides members of the healthcare team, including physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians, with a practical, interprofessional approach to developing individualized treatment plans for adult patients. Learners will review clinical and patient-specific factors that influence medication selection and dosing, including age, renal and hepatic function, pharmacogenomics, concurrent medications, adherence patterns, and patient goals of care. They will also examine approaches to dose titration, tapering, deprescribing, and review dosage-form modification, therapeutic substitution, and monitoring in adult patients with complex medication needs. Finally, this activity addresses shared decision-making, interprofessional communication and collaboration, and documentation strategies that support safe implementation and follow-up of individualized treatment plans.
