Quantity of dose, including usual quantities for each of the uses for which it is intended and usual quantities for persons of different ages and different physical conditions.
Frequency of administration or application.
Duration of administration or application.
Time of administration or application, in relation to time of meals, time of onset of symptoms, or other time factors.
