What is the daily dose during days 5-7 in the titration schedule?

• A. 1 mg
• B. 2 mg
• C. 3 mg
• D. 4 mg

Answer: (B)

In a titration schedule, you raise the dose gradually to balance reaching effective drug exposure with preserving tolerability. The dose at this stage is the middle level in the sequence—higher than the initial low dose to achieve better antiviral effect, but not as high as the final maintenance level. This middle step is designed to continue building exposure while still being more tolerable than the peak dose. The lowest dose serves to minimize early side effects, and the highest dose comes later or at maintenance, depending on the regimen. So, the dose used at this point is the middle dose in the progression, which is why it’s the best choice.
