Reducing dose Explanation: It would be good to see the full sentence at least, but "reducing dose" is commonly used to describe the gradual reduction in a medication (eg steroids) so that the patient doesn´t have sudden withdrawal. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2017-10-13 15:09:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think more context is needed to say exactly how it would be worded.

Pauta reductora o Pauta descendente Withdrawal regimen Explanation: The original Spanish specifically refers to a withdrawal regimen rather than to just a (gradual) dose reduction.
