What is Therapeutic Monitoring?

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a crucial aspect of pharmacotherapy that involves measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals. This practice helps to maintain a constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream, ensuring efficacy while minimizing toxicity. TDM is particularly essential for drugs with narrow therapeutic indices, significant pharmacokinetic variability, or those that require individualized dosing.
