Abstract

The efficacy of a dosing regimen can be altered, and preferably improved, by fractionating the doses. Here fractionating the doses can be regarded as taking a single conventional dose and splitting that dose into two or more dose-fractions delivered at relatively short time intervals, where the dose-fractions add up to the same total dose as the conventional dose. In cases where dose fractionation increases the therapeutic effect, this can result in a greater therapeutic effect from a smaller total dose when the doses are fractionated. This effect has been demonstrated in an ophthalmic application, but is expected to be more generally applicable.
