An introduction, with case studies, to the principles of monitoring drug therapy, for those involved in the interpretation of drug levels in the patient care setting. Complex equations are minimized, and equations that are presented are explained so that readers can conceptualize principles such as bioavailability, volume of distribution, clearance, elimination rate constant, and half-life. This edition has new chapters on tricyclic antidepressants and cyclosporine, an expanded chapter on dialysis, and updated information on choosing equations and interpreting plasma drug concentrations.
