Therapeutic drug monitoring - monitoring for common adverse drug reactions
Overview
- Monitoring for common adverse drug reactions extends beyond drug level measurement to include organ-function and symptom-specific surveillance matched to a drug's known toxicity profile - e.g. thyroid and pulmonary function for amiodarone, regular full blood count for clozapine, and renal/hepatic function for numerous agents with organ-specific toxicity risk
- Relevant to a broad range of medications with well-characterised, predictable adverse effect patterns requiring structured, scheduled surveillance rather than purely reactive symptom-triggered assessment
