Double dosing involves taking twice the daily buprenorphine dose, with a skipped day, while triple dosing is three times the daily dose. **Setting up a double or triple dose: Select Specific Days** In StrongER, double and triple-dosing mimics takeaway doses, allowing you to schedule specific days for these doses — choose fixed days, alternate days, or variable days (helpful for patients with varying dosing schedules). In the provided scenario, a patient regularly doses on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Here, Monday and Wednesday are designated for double doses, while Friday is reserved for a triple dose. ![](https://help.strongroom.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-19-2023-10-36-52-1338-PM.png?width=688&height=1032&name=image-png-Nov-19-2023-10-36-52-1338-PM.png) ![](https://help.strongroom.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-19-2023-10-36-20-7199-PM.png?width=688&height=1032&name=image-png-Nov-19-2023-10-36-20-7199-PM.png) **Setting up a double or triple dose: Select Alternating Days** In this scenario, the patient opts for a double-dose every second day, highlighting the utility of the alternating days feature. To adjust double-dosing days in the case of a missed dose on an alternate-day schedule, simply edit the prescription. Re-select **Alternating Days** starting either today or tomorrow. ![](https://help.strongroom.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-19-2023-11-58-35-2325-PM.png?width=688&height=1032&name=image-png-Nov-19-2023-11-58-35-2325-PM.png) **Setting up a double or triple dose: Variable Days per Week** Next, variable double or triple-dosing can be used for when the patient varies what days they receive their dose or triple-dose, you will then specify what days are a double or triple-dose on the supply window.
