Gentamicin under close supervision: challenges of therapeutic monitoring

Therapeutic pharmacological monitoring (STP) is emerging as an essential practice in contemporary medicine, offering an individualized approach to optimizing drug treatments. Our exploration focuses on gentamicin, a major antibiotic in the aminoglycoside family, highlighting the crucial importance of PTS in its use.In these pages, we explore the key stages of PTS, from the precise measurement of blood concentrations to the fine-tuning of dosages. Delving into the complex mechanisms of gentamicin metabolism, we examine the clinical implications, highlighting the compelling reasons for careful monitoring.This book is aimed at medical students, practitioners and all medical enthusiasts keen to understand the intricacies of PTS and its specific application to gentamicin. Welcome to an in-depth exploration, where science lights the way towards more precise, more adapted medical care, resolutely focused on the singularity of each patient.
