Abstract:

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an individualized administration guided by determining the drug exposure, pharmacological markers or efficacy indicators in patients, by using quantitative pharmacological model and taking the drug treatment window as the benchmark. In the process of anti-tuberculosis treatment, there are many problems such as individual differences in drug concentration and various adverse effects, which may lead to treatment failure, drug resistance and recurrence. The use of anti-tuberculosis drugs TDM can optimize drug treatment, improve drug efficacy and reduce toxic and side effects. In order to promote the standardization of tuberculosis TDM in China, ensure the scientificity, ethics and legality of TDM, and maximize the benefits of patients, the Expert Consensus on the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs was composed. This consensus has been repeatedly discussed by experts in the fields of tuberculosis, including clinicians and pharmacologists. Based on the significance, indications, detection methods, implementation process and quality control of TDM, the experts generated the consensus.
