Research Abstract |
"Micro Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (micro TDM)" is a newly developed management method for pharmacotherapy that is designed primarily for use by pharmacists in community pharmacies. Micro TDM is based on the determination of a drug efficacy index from small amount of human body fluids, that can be obtained by self-collection either at the community pharmacy or at home. The questionnaires revealed the usefulness of micro TDM in the proper management of medication. On the other hand, fingertip biochemical tests could be performed with a number of pharmacists. It has been suggested that the fingertip biochemical tests may be the foundation of self-medication for general citizens.
