Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, TDM
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) refers to a series of activities that provide feedback while continuously monitoring drug response for the optimal pharmacotherapy of each patient.
Conventional TDM

It is mainly not only used to maintain the effective blood drug concentration by measuring blood drug concentration and monitor changes of drug in blood, but also maximize the individual therapeutic effect by minimizing the expression of drug toxicity.

Targets are some antibiotics, antiepileptic drugs, and cardiac drugs that are developed relatively long ago and well known for their therapeutic windows.

  • Vancomycin
  • Digoxin
  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics(amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin)
  • Conventional anti-epileptics(valproic acid, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital)
  • Theophylline
  • Lithium
