Determination of mirtazapine and desmethyl mirtazapine in human plasma by a new validated HPLC ultraviolet method with a simple and reliable extraction method: Application to therapeutic drug monitoring study by 62 real patient plasma
Determination of mirtazapine during psychopharmacotherapy in biological fluids is essential to achieve successful therapy, to avoid toxicity related to drug interactions, genetic variability and poor compliance. A new, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed in human plasma for the determination of mirtazapine (MRP) and N-desmethylmirtazapine (NDM) t...

Objective(s) The role of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in patient care has grown rapidly since its introduction three decades ago. The aim of present study was to evaluate the possible relationship between serum levels and the clinical response of valproic acid (VPA). Materials and Methods In the present study we evaluated a homogeneous group of adult patients receiving VPA monotherapy. ...
متن کاملA Review on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Immunosuppressant Drugs
Immunosuppressants require therapeutic drug monitoring because of their narrow therapeutic index and significant inter-individual variability in blood concentrations. This variability can be because of factors like drug-nutrient interactions, drug-disease interactions, renal-insufficiency, inflammation and infection, gender, age, polymorphism and liver mass. Drug monitoring is widely practiced ...
متن کاملTherapeutic Drug Monitoring of Sirolimus,Correlation With Laboratory Parameters In Transplant Patients
Sirolimus is a potent immunosuppressive agent administered as prophylactic agent to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. Sirolimus must be used within a narrow therapeutic window. Due to inter- and intra-variability, sirolimus blood concentrations may be affected, therefore, there is no possibility of predicting the sirolimus blood concentrations based on the dose patients received. T...
متن کاملTherapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetics--is this a way towards creative psychopharmacotherapy?
Modern development trends in psychiatry incorporate greater care for patients and above all individualisation of therapeutic approaches. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for phenotyping and genotyping of drug metabolism are possible determinants of improved treatment efficacy, reduced adverse effects of psychotropic drugs, and enhanced treatment compliance. They render possible individual adju...
