Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical tool used to ensure the safe and effective use of medications. It helps to optimize patient treatment regimens by measuring the concentrations of drugs in the body related to the therapeutic effect, and then adjusting the dosage as needed. TDM can also be used to identify potentially toxic concentrations of drugs and to evaluate the efficacy of a medication. TDM can benefit people with conditions that require a precise balance of medications, such as those with kidney or liver failure, multiple chronic conditions, and those with complex medication regimens. TDM helps to improve patient outcomes, reduce adverse drug reactions, and minimize healthcare costs.
