Personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments based on individual patient characteristics, including pharmacokinetic variability. This book explores the factors contributing to pharmacokinetic differences among individuals, such as genetics, age, gender, and comorbidities. It discusses the application of pharmacogenomics, therapeutic drug monitoring, and pharmacokinetic modeling in personalizing drug therapy. Designed for clinicians, pharmacologists, and researchers, the book provides strategies for accounting for pharmacokinetic variability to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce adverse effects.
