This is an Educational Presentation On The Role Of Antipsychotic TDM In Clinical Decision Making Presented At The 2022 National College Of Psychiatric And Neurologic Pharmacists.*

For medications such as clozapine, patients and healthcare providers have many situations where TDM is highly relevant in making day-to- day clinical decisions, including differentiating poor adherence with ultrarapid metabolism, and optimizing levels in inadequate responders.
