If a patient is on a "high regimen" of medication does it mean that the pt has been prescribed a high dosage or is being administered a high dosage?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Prescribed: As medically jargon and from my experience, this refers to "prescribed". I could see this being the same if the patient was in an inpatient situation where nursing are following the order.
