Abstract

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) describes the measurement of chemical parameters of drugs during clinical laboratory testing. TDM aids estimation of the efficacy and safety of drugs, often a determinant of future dosing pattern. It combines knowledge of pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of drugs. TDM typically involves measuring of drug concentration in various biological fluids (matrices). Drug levels can be assayed in blood, urine, hair, tears, etc. The concentration of drugs measured in these matrices helps to estimate whether a drug is within its therapeutic range. Usually, when drug levels in these matrices attain toxic concentrations, it will lead to potential adverse effects, thus the need for documented data on therapeutic and toxic concentrations of drugs in the various biological matrices.
