Something that keeps cropping up on this site, and has never (not that I have seen) produced a definitive answer. Should, say, Prostap be administered every 12 weeks or every 3 months ?
I was talking to my Urologist yesterday and he, in passing, came out with a very reasonable answer to this question. Before it can be used a drug has to be licensed for use (after all trials etc). This License will be granted with the detailed administration instructions, ie: quantity and daily, weekly or monthly doses. The timing of the doseage in the licence is generally what the drug manufacturer asks for in his request for a licence. Manufacturer "A" might state weeks, Manufacturer "B" might state months. So the answer to the question seems to be: "What it says on the box".......ie: in the licence.
That still leave a discussion as to how long a month actually is........................I suppose it's six of one and half dozen of the other.
