An up-to-date exploration of effective treatment techniques for patients from special populations
In Fundamentals and Clinical Applications of Pharmacotherapy in Special Populations, a team of leading researchers provides an up-to-date and authoritative discussion of how to predict drug therapy in special populations, including the obese, pediatric patients, the elderly, and patients with renal and hepatic impairment. The authors use pharmacokinetic models to account for variations between populations and better predict drug therapy.
This book features a collection of 15 chapters written by recognized experts in their fields. The chapters cover topics ranging from optimizing drug dosing regimens in specialized populations to model-based approaches to drug therapy among children.
Readers will also find:
A thorough introduction to regulatory considerations and issues for clinical research in special populations
Comprehensive reviews of drug administration in the elderly, patients with hepatic impairment, and patients with renal impairment
Practical discussions of model-based pharmacokinetic approaches
A thorough review of artificial intelligence in drug development
Suitable for pharmacists, druggists, and clinical chemists, Fundamentals and Clinical Applications of Drug Administration in Special Populations will also be useful for medical professionals providing medical and pharmaceutical care to special populations.
