Abstract
There is limited evidence to support the currently suggested lamotrigine (LTG) therapeutic reference range of 2.5-15 mg/L for the treatment of seizures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of LTG plasma concentrations with the efficacy and toxicity of the treatment in patients with epilepsy.
期刊介绍:
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of pharmacologists, clinical chemists, laboratorians, pharmacists, drug researchers and toxicologists. It fosters the exchange of knowledge among the various disciplines–clinical pharmacology, pathology, toxicology, analytical chemistry–that share a common interest in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. The journal presents studies detailing the various factors that affect the rate and extent drugs are absorbed, metabolized, and excreted. Regular features include review articles on specific classes of drugs, original articles, case reports, technical notes, and continuing education articles.
