RECOMMENDED RANGES
Men and women may need different context.
We only show a different amount when physiology, dietary requirements or clinical evidence supports it. Otherwise, we say the range is the same.Typical guidance
No universal women's dose or protocol. Pregnancy potential, cycle or menopause status, clotting risk and monitoring may change treatment.
Important context: Prescription and procedural ranges must come from the treating clinician; sex is only one of several variables.
