I think this addresses it OK. Getting into symptoms is probably going too far.

Some doubts about this entry. On a japanese learning site there is a user made definition that says "dose of medicine to be taken only once (when symptoms appear)" . 
The addition of "(when symptoms appear)" is probably coming from 大辞典 which says  ... 症状が現われるごとに服用させる ...
But the other dictionary I've checked are not so specific on that, for example 大辞泉:  対症療法として薬を何回にも分けずに一回に飲むこと。
対症療法 being "symptomatic therapy" would be a medicine you take to address some symptoms instead of the cause of an illness, like for example a painkiller - but it doesn't say anything about when you take it, maybe you endure the pain for one day and take it the day after, right?

Therefore I'm suggesting to either change this entry to "dose of medicine to be taken only once (to address symptoms instead of the root cause of an illness)" or adding that inside parenthesis as a note, whichever you guys think it's more fitting.
