Chronotherapy (treatment scheduling)

Chronotherapy, also called chronotherapeutics[1] or chronotherapeutic drug delivery,[2] refers to the coordination of therapeutic treatments with an individual's circadian or other rhythmic cycles. This may be done to maximize effectiveness of a specific treatment, minimize possible side effects, or both.[3][4]
