Titrate refers to adjusting the dosage of a medication to achieve the desired effect, typically by gradually increasing or decreasing the dose. Wean, on the other hand, involves gradually reducing the dosage of a medication to safely discontinue its use, often done to prevent withdrawal symptoms or side effects.
