What are the Challenges Associated with Therapeutic Windows?
One of the primary challenges is the variability in individual responses to medications. Factors such as age, genetic makeup, and existing health conditions can alter how a drug is metabolized, affecting the therapeutic window. Furthermore, interactions with other drugs, known as drug interactions, can narrow the therapeutic window, increasing the risk of toxicity. Monitoring and adjusting dosages in real-time is often required, making the process complex and resource-intensive.
