Join this 27-minute webinar to explore therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in clinical settings with Professor Akande Abdulrasaq Adeyinka from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Learn about the principles and practical applications of TDM, a critical process used to optimize drug therapy by measuring specific drug concentrations in patient blood samples at designated intervals. Discover how healthcare professionals use TDM to ensure therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects, particularly for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows or significant inter-patient variability. Gain insights into the clinical decision-making process, including when to implement TDM protocols, how to interpret results, and how to adjust dosing regimens based on monitoring data. Understand the role of chemical pathology and immunology in supporting effective therapeutic drug monitoring programs within healthcare systems.
