Abstract

Applied Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics: Principles of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is a comprehensive textbook that covers all aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, with a focus on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Introduction to Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics This section provides an overview of the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs, as well as the dose-response relationship. Principles of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring This section covers the principles of TDM, including the selection of drugs to monitor, the timing of sampling, and the interpretation of results. Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Specific Drugs This section provides detailed TDM information for a variety of specific drugs, including antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. Special Topics in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics This section covers a variety of special topics in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, such as drug interactions, population pharmacokinetics, and pharmacogenomics. Applied Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics: Principles of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is a valuable resource for students, pharmacists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who need to understand the principles and practice of TDM.
