A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Biologic Medications for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a useful strategy to optimize biologic medications for inflammatory bowel disease not responsive to standard dosing regimens. TDM is cost effective for anti-tumor necrosis factor agents in the setting of loss of response (reactive TDM). Optimizing drug dosing whe...
