Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Flashcards
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is
clinical lab measurments
Drug dosage individualized by PK and PD
Goal of optimal therapeutic effects:
target concentration range and context important (treat the pt not the number)
Why TDM?
Max efficacy
Minimize toxicity
PK changes
Monitor adherence
Max efficacy involves
Can tell if there if a lack of response or change in clinical status
