Anti-HIV Therapy: every patient is unique Role
of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) represents and example of practical application of the
activities of the pharmacology laboratory. It consists in measuring a drug
plasmatic concentrations and, if needed, in the modification of that drug
dosing according to its results… (continues [in
Italian language]) Hospital “Amedeo di Savoia” is the only facility
in Italy routinely dosing all commercially available antiretroviral drugs. This approach is useful
for the single patient because his therapy is tailored according to his
characteristics (see. Pharmacogenetics)
and personal needs but it is also stimulating new researches to define new
and better combinations within antiretroviral drugs. The Laboratory, certified for EN UNI ISO 9001:2008, has been controlled, since 2003, by an external quality control
service: it has always been certified of being able to dose all
antiretroviral drugs. Furthermore
in our laboratory it is also possible to dose a wide group of antibiotics
with investigational purposes and/or for clinical studies (either personal or
in collaboration with pharmaceutical brands). From 2009 the
Laboratory has antifungals TDM service.
The laboratory is able to
quantify
cannabinoids in the Galenic preparations (or masterly preparations, like
oil) of Cannabis, in collaboration with
CoQua Lab.
