Indicative therapeutic and toxic drug concentrations in plasma: a tabulation

Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther. 1994 Feb;32(2):71-81.

Abstract

The table presented provides the therapeutic, toxic and lethal serum concentrations (to the extent demonstrable) of drugs. The use of plasma levels when administering drugs increases the likelihood of attaining a therapeutic response and serves to minimize the toxicity. The therapeutic range of agents should be used as a guideline and must be interpreted in conjunction with other monitoring parameters.
