Therapeutic drug monitoring in drug overdose [PDF]
The treatment of poisoned patients is still largely defined by history, clinical assessment and interpretation of ancillary investigations. Measurement of drug concentrations is clinically important for relatively few compounds. Most measurements form an adjunct to and should not be considered a substitute for clinical assessment.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib [PDF]
In this issue of the Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, Martins et al.(1) are publishing an interesting review, a meta-analysis, of the clinical and analytical aspects of therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib, the archetype for tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapeutics, is an excellent example

Therapeutic drug monitoring of cytotoxic drugs [PDF]
Therapeutic drug monitoring is not routinely used for cytotoxic agents. There are several reasons, but one major drawback is the lack of established therapeutic concentration ranges. Combination chemotherapy makes the establishment of therapeutic ranges for individual drugs difficult, the concentration‐effect relationship for a single drug may not be ...

Therapeutic drug monitoring: antiarrhythmic drugs [PDF]
Antiarrhythmic agents are traditionally classified according to Vaughan Williams into four classes of action. Class I antiarrhythmic agents include most of the drugs traditionally thought of as antiarrhythmics, and have as a common action, blockade of the fast‐inward sodium channel on myocardium. These agents have a very significant toxicity, and while

Therapeutic drug monitoring of immunosuppressant drugs [PDF]
Individualizing a patient’s drug therapy to obtain the optimum balance between therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of adverse events is the physician’s goal. However, achieving this goal is not always straight forward, being complicated by within and between patient variability in both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

On-Site Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. [PDF]
Recent technological advances have stimulated efforts to bring personalized medicine into practice. Yet, traditional application fields like therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) have remained rather under-appreciated. Owing to clear dose-response relationships, TDM could improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Antiepileptic Drugs
Commonly used conventional antiepileptic drugs for pharmacotherapy in epilepsy are phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid. These drugs have complex pharmacokinetic properties leading to fluctuation in their plasma level at given same therapeutic dose.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Pharmacokinetics-Based Individualization of Drug Therapy [PDF]
The philosophy, practice, and clinical impact of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has changed profoundly with the appearance of widely available and, in a technical sense, commonly applicable modeling, simulation, and dosing software tools in the past ...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Kinase Inhibitors in Oncology
Although kinase inhibitors (KI) frequently portray large interpatient variability, a ‘one size fits all’ regimen is still often used. In the meantime, relationships between exposure-response and exposure-toxicity have been established for several KIs, so
