Is the maximum studied dose the same as the maximum useful dose?

Asked 19 Mar 2025Modified 16 months agoViewed 2.9k times

My records go back to the first dose with dates, so I can reconstruct the timeline exactly.

I suspect the honest answer is that it depends, in which case I would like to know on what.

Assume I can obtain either option without difficulty, so availability is not the deciding factor.

Is there a defensible reason to prefer one, or is this a coin flip?
