therapeutic drug monitoring

What is Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)?

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that involves measuring specific drug levels in a patient's bloodstream at designated intervals. This helps to ensure that the drug concentration remains within a therapeutic range, optimizing the efficacy while minimizing toxicity. TDM is particularly important for drugs with narrow therapeutic indices, significant interindividual variability, or where a clear relationship between drug concentration and response is established.
