Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of vancomycin is recommended to improve efficacy, minimize toxicity, and prevent the development of resistant microbial strains. International guidelines now recommend the use of an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-guided approach to optimize vancomycin dosing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
