How Do We Address Individual Variability in Dosing?
Individual variability in response to drugs is addressed through personalized dosing strategies. Genetic testing can identify polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes, allowing for more tailored dosing. Clinical factors such as liver and kidney function tests are also considered to adjust doses accordingly. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a common practice for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, ensuring that drug levels remain within the desired range.
