Defined daily dose is a function of maintenance dose, so I propose it be fused into that article. --Bobjgalindo (talk) 18:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Oppose. The DDD is not a function of the maintenance dose but a statistical tool that is defined by the WHO for each drug, based on the "assumed" maintenance dose. The article says "The DDD is not to be confused with the therapeutic dose or with the dose actually prescribed by a physician for an individual patient"; so I think a merger would potentially cause confusion. In short: DDD = statistical tool, maintenance dose = pharmacological tool. (BTW, please don't agree with yourself, this looks as if two editors were in favour of a merger.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 19:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

The maintenance dose is the preferred variable when establishing the DDD. See WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology --Bobjgalindo (talk) 05:25, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Concur in opposition as they are two, separate though related quantities. -Attleboro (talk) 21:45, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

ddd has nothing to do with maintenance dose — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.130.201.227 (talk) 13:38, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Please do not merge the two articles. These are very different concepts. §EG — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.82.131.69 (talk) 15:49, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Oppose It's pretty obvious these are completely different concepts. DDD is a measure of consumption that is packaged in uniform, economically easy to work with, time increments. Maintenance dose is a therapeutic concept and will have a highly variable time increment depending on the particulars of the drug and organism. 24.21.35.83 (talk) 07:27, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
