The ''lakshana'' of ''maatravada aushadham'' touches all aspects of an ideal drug. We can see the pharmacoleptic, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic aspects being mentioned here for selecting the right drug in the appropriate dosage.
Each formulation has its own guna with respect to its contents. Even though the drug has its guna, the outcome of the kriyakrama in the patient will also depend on the physiological and the environmental factors too. However, an ideal drug and its ideal dosage in a particular clinical condition, in a particular patient can only be assessed only after the continuous practice and experience of the physician. The same medicine may have different outcome in different patients. Hence, an ideal drug even though is important, more important is fixing the dosage appropriately considering all other factors.(Verses 15-16)
