A loading dose is a higher dose of a medication given initially to quickly achieve the desired therapeutic concentration in the bloodstream. In contrast, a maintenance dose is a lower dose administered regularly to maintain that therapeutic level over time. The loading dose helps to rapidly reach effective drug levels, while the maintenance dose ensures that these levels are sustained without causing toxicity. Together, they optimize the effectiveness of the treatment regimen.
