Pharmacogenomics & Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Slide 19 — TDM Sampling: Timing Is Everything

Module 1 — General Principles of Pharmacology · Course 4 of 5

Role in Module 1: explores relevant variability and individual information, such as genetic results and measured drug concentrations. Recommended after Pharmacodynamics. You can reopen any lesson at any time — your Quick Recall results show which concepts to revisit.

Pharmacogenomics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring explain how genetic variation and measured drug concentrations help individualize therapy, improve treatment response, and reduce toxicity.
