Concept of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)

The concept of TDM is new, the literature is also scarce and this has inspired me to take up this task of writing the book,a second experience in this field. The first being Quality Assurance of Ayurvedic Formulations - New Horizon which has received encouragement through national journals and readers alike.Since TDM is not practiced all over, this is my humble contribution to enhance interest in this direction.TDM is felt as need of the hour due to the availability of large number of potent drugs with a narrow margin of safety.My long standing teaching experience has also helped me to present this book in the required format to understand the basic principles of this vast and untapped source of information on drugs and their therapeutic evaluation. The topic chosen are mainly useful students if pharmacy and practicing physicians and pharmacists.The book itself is not comprehensive but covers all the essential information.
