English term or phrase: cross-taper method

I understand the meaning, but I cannot seem to find the right word for this in Danish. This is bound to have a fixed translation.

It is about increasing the dose of one drug while decreasing the dose of another.

overkrydsning

Explanation:
Eksempler fra Google:

Selve medicinskiftet kan gennemføres abrupt eller ved overkrydsning. Almindeligvis vil man foretrække overkrydsning, enten ved at optrappe det nye præparat til forventet vedligeholdelsesdosis før udtrapning af det oprindelige, eller ved samtidig op- og udtrapning. http://ekstern.infonet.regionsyddanmark.dk/files/Formularer/...

Dette ses fx når man overgår fra behandling med et lægemiddel til et andet. Her vil man ofte lave en overkrydsning, således at man langsomt stopper behandlingen med det ene lægemiddel samtidig med, at man langsomt starter behandlingen med det andet. http://www.sst.dk/publ/Publ2006/KOT/Antipsyk/Antipsyk.pdf
