The therapeutic window is the amount of a medication between the
amount that gives an effect (effective dose) and the amount that
gives more adverse effects than desired effects. For instance,
medication with a small pharmaceutical window must be
administered with care and control, e.g. by frequently measuring
blood concentration of the drug, since it easily loses effects or gives
adverse effects.
