1 Drug Quantity Limits 2011 Quantity limits on medications are established to maximize the dosing regimen and decrease cost. Quantity limits are commonly placed on once daily drugs available in multiple strengths. The limit allows for titration to an effective dose, but requires long-term use with an appropriate strength of the medication. Taking medications less often (10mg once daily versus 5mg twice daily, if appropriate) increases compliance. If generics are added for BRAND drugs with quantity limits, the generic will have the same quantity limit.
