Drug handling: Information sources
Drug handling problems can be complex, but for straightforward clinical situations concerned with sampling times and so forth, check to see if you have an in-house policy at your hospital. Alternatively try the TDM table we have produced here for general guidance. SmPCs often have TDM information for drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, and will also provide some basic pharmacokinetic data for most drugs.![]() |

There are a number of pharmacokinetics books available, most are fairly in-depth and so consult these only after you’ve tried the above. An examples is Winter's Basic Clinical Pharmacokinetics by Paul Beringer (Wolters Kluwer).
Be careful about conducting a general internet search on this subject. If you do, you may like to look at our brief guide to evaluating websites about medicines.
