Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Clinical measurement of drug levels in blood to maintain a constant concentration of medication, or therapeutic drug monitoring,1 is needed now, more than ever, as adverse reactions to prescriptions drugs are taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year.2

Costly. Deadly. Global.

Lack of therapeutic drug monitoring can lead to higher death rates, more adverse drug reactions and has proven costly to employers.
And the numbers are staggering.
