Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / dose/dosaggio
Italian term or phrase: dose/dosaggio
Does this make sense?

Nel caso in cui (XYZosina) sia associata ad un diuretico o ad un altro agente antiipertensivo, potrebbe risultare necessaria una riduzione del dosaggio ed un nuovo aggiustamento della dose.

It's all OK until the last item "ed un nuovo aggiustamento della dose". Is there a distinction being made between "dose" and "dosaggio"? If not, it seems to be self-contradictory. If yes, what is the distinction?

dose/dosing


Explanation:
a "dose" (dose) is the quantity of a substance to administer, the exact quantity prescribed.
a "dosaggio" (dosing) is the operation of administering a substance
in your context I think that the meaning is: reduce the administration of the substance (less quantity) and "aggiustare" the dose ("aggiustare"= change, I don't know exactly what kind of change is, but I think you can deduce it from the whole context you have)

agree  SJLD: although it seems it would make more sense the other way around - reduction in dose (amount administered) and readjustment of the schedule
