In order to be as clinically relevant as possible, the book not only discusses drugs with readily available therapeutic serum levels, but places equal emphasis on high-alert agents with narrow therapeutic indexes.
Each drug chapter is written by clinical pharmacists who have hands-on experience in drug dosing and includes an overview of the drug's pharmacology, including:
Indications
Mec hanisms of action
Toxicities
Pharmacokinetics
There is comprehensive review and discussion of each drug's bioavailability, volume of distribution, clearance, half-life, therapeutic drug level monitoring, drug interactions, dosing, and availability. Each chapter is enhanced by numerous patient cases with clear step-by-step answers and explanations. Calculations, equations, and dosing recommendations are provided for each case.
