remedicate

I can't find a direct translation of nachdosieren, but it sounds like remedicate in this context.

Duration of relief is eight to twelve hours for CR oxycodone, compared to six to seven hours for IR oxycodone13. Most patients remedicate at twelve hours with CR oxycodone, compared to the eight to nine hours with the immediate release form.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Dr. Fred Thomson : I can't be sure, but it seems to me that what they are talking about is changing the medication from IR oxycodone 13 to CR oxycodone.
