Levels of certain prescription medications in the bloodstream can be a serious health concern for patients and healthcare professionals alike. By testing levels of medications such as valproic acid, phenobarbital and cyclosporine in a patient's blood stream, doctors can monitor and adjust the prescribed dosage to help ensure a drug’s safety and efficacy. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics offers a panel of TDM assays that meet the majority of any laboratory's high volume TDM testing needs.
