Mechanism of action
Hyperbolic tapering represents a non-linear approach to dose reduction where the rate of dose decrease slows over time, following a hyperbolic curve. This contrasts with linear tapering where dose reductions occur at constant intervals. The strategy is designed to minimize withdrawal effects and physiological disruption by allowing the body to gradually adapt to lower drug concentrations.
