Popis: Understanding the clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) principles of anti-tuberculosis medication is critical if healthcare practitioners are to apply the safe and effective therapeutic management of these agents. One of the tools that can be applied is therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) which allows the possibility to individualise drug doses to ensure concentrations are efficacious and not toxic. This chapter will explore when TDM should be performed together with offering some practical advice about their interpretation.
