   Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

   Pantoprazole, sold under the brand name Protonix, among others, is a medication used for the treatment of stomach ulcers, short-term treatment of erosive esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, and pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.

4. Therapeutic drug monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_drug_monitoring

   Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a branch of clinical chemistry and clinical pharmacology that specializes in the measurement of medication levels in blood.Its main focus is on drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, i.e. drugs that can easily be under- or overdosed. [1]

5. Lithium toxicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_toxicity

   The diagnosis is generally based on symptoms and supported by a lithium level blood level. [1] [2] Blood levels are most useful six to twelve hours after the last dose. [2] The normal blood serum lithium level in those on treatment is between 0.6 and 1.2 mEq/L. [1] Some blood tubes contain lithium heparin which may result in falsely elevated ...

6. Lithium (medication) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_(medication)

   The required dosage is slightly less than the toxic level (representing a low therapeutic index), requiring close monitoring of blood levels of lithium carbonate during treatment. [24] Within the therapeutic range there is a dose-response relationship. [25]

7. Therapeutic index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_index

   Classically, for clinical indications of an approved drug, TI refers to the ratio of the dose of the drug that causes adverse effects at an incidence/severity not compatible with the targeted indication (e.g. toxic dose in 50% of subjects, TD 50) to the dose that leads to the desired pharmacological effect (e.g. efficacious dose in 50% of ...

8. Trough level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trough_level

   In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. [3] A trough level is contrasted with a "peak level" ( C max ), which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time.

9. Dosage (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosage_(pharmacology)

   Dosage typically includes information on the number of doses, intervals between administrations, and the overall treatment period. [3] For example, a dosage might be described as "200 mg twice daily for two weeks," where 200 mg represents the individual dose, twice daily indicates the frequency, and two weeks specifies the duration of treatment.
