Dose dumping
Dose Dumping
Dose dumping is a term used in pharmacology to describe a phenomenon where a large quantity of a drug is released into the body all at once, rather than being gradually released over a period of time. This can occur due to various reasons such as failure of the drug delivery system, improper administration, or interaction with food or alcohol.
Pronunciation
Dose Dumping: /doʊs dʌmpɪŋ/
