basal medication


Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_(medicine)

As used by diabetics and health care professionals, it describes a low, continuous dosage of insulin (either as a basal rate from an insulin pump or a slow-acting insulin injection) intended to "cover" the glucose output of the liver.
