Abstract

Importance of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)

Yusuf Tutar

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a form of blood test that determines the amount of certain medications in your system. It's done to ensure that the dose of medication you're taking is both safe and reliable. The majority of drugs can be dosed correctly without the need for further research. However, with certain medications, determining a dosage that offers enough medication to treat the disease without causing dangerous side effects can be difficult. TDM assists the doctor in determining whether you are receiving the correct dosage of your medication.
