Features: Pharmacokinetic theory and blood drug concentration measurement methods have been extensively discussed in many specialized books. This book primarily introduces general methods for interpreting and utilizing blood drug concentrations to hospital pharmacists. For commonly used drugs requiring monitoring, it focuses on the interpretation of blood drug concentrations and the relevant knowledge needed for their use, such as the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drugs, drug interactions, and individualized dosing regimens. It advocates that pharmacists engaged in this work should step out of the laboratory and closely integrate therapeutic drug monitoring with clinical practice to maximize the effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring.
