Abstract

Individualized dosage regimen calculations require knowledge on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drug and the characteristics of the patient. A PK-PD-based dosage regimen is not easily and generally applicable, mainly because the combination of available PK parameters and therapeutic target levels may be inappropriate for the purpose of predicting a plausible dosage regimen. Within the project PharmDIS-e+, an alternative approach was chosen, and this "PK and standard dose"-based principle is well suited for computerized dosing advice. PharmDIS-e+ aims at the development of several applications for dosing regimen advice for general practitioners, hospital physicians and pharmacists.
