In this case, I believe that titration means to give just the right
amount of
drug  enough to obtain a desired reaction from the patient.  Patients
vary
in size, weight, advance level of the disease, etc. so that each may
need
different amounts of therapeutic drug.  In chemistry from where this
term
is taken, a typical example of a titration is adding just the right
amount of
acid to neutralize a base.
