Therapeutic Drug Monitoring List

This book provides a concise and clinically focused reference guide on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) for commonly used medications with narrow therapeutic ranges. It explains the principles of TDM, including drug measurement, pharmacokinetic interpretation, and dosage individualisation to optimise therapeutic outcomes and minimise toxicity.

The guide lists key drugs requiring routine monitoring—such as aminoglycosides, vancomycin, lithium, carbamazepine, digoxin, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, phenytoin, among others—and summarises essential monitoring parameters, target concentrations, and clinical considerations. Designed for pharmacists, clinicians, and healthcare trainees, this resource supports safe and effective medication management by integrating pharmacokinetics into clinical practice to improve patient safety.
