'Therapeutic window' is an
index for estimation of
drug dosage which can treat disease effectively while staying within the safety range. It is the range between the
ED50 and the starting point of
LD50 curve. It is believed that this index can help to avoid most of the potential
side effects.

This index is believed to be more reliable than that of therapeutic index since this index considers the biological variation among individuals to a larger extent.
