What is an untoward reaction?
An unwanted reaction of a drug or other therapeutic. Basically, an adverse side effect.
What lab test for the elderly would measure amount of free unbound drug molecules?
The lab test that measures the amount of free unbound drug molecules in the blood is called "free drug concentration" or "free drug level." This test is particularly important for the elderly as changes in kidney or liver function can alter the metabolism and clearance of medications, leading to potential drug toxicity or inadequate treatment. Monitoring the free drug concentration helps healthcare professionals optimize drug dosing and minimize the risk of adverse effects in older adults.
Can traces of molly drug be found in your blood?
Yes. MDMA is a water soluble drug, which means, it can stay in your blood and urine for up to 1-4 days
Which lab does home depot use venapunture drug screening?
Home Depot, like most retailers, uses urine drug screening rather than blood drug screening. I've never heard of anyone drawing blood for a routine drug test, and I've been studying drug testing for 11 years.
How much less toxic is marijuana then other drugs?
Toxicity of any drug is described by its Therapeutic Index--the ratio of lethal dose to effective dose. For instance, if the effective dose--the dose that gets you high--of Soma (the fake one in Brave New World, not carisoprodol) is 10 ng/ul and the lethal dose is 100 ng/ul, Soma's therapeutic index is 10. Marijuana has no therapeutic index as it has no lethal dose. The only other drug I know of that can come close to saying that is LSD, whose lethal dose is 12,000 micrograms--this for a drug that's normally taken 100 micrograms at a time. (Given that, erowid reports that ONE person has died of an LSD overdose; the guy thought it was speed and injected 320mg--not micrograms but milligrams--of acid.)

With which other hospital department would the laboratory coordinate therapeutic drug monitoring?

Why are blood levels checked when using medications?
In situations where a clear dose-response relationship exists for the drug in question, monitoring drug serum levels where there is a narrow therapeutic margin helps maintain the dose in a range where adequate therapeutic benefit is seen while avoiding toxic levels. Examples of this include Dilantin for seizures, and antibiotics like gentamicin or vancomycin.
What is therapeutic dose?
The dose of a drug needed to produce a desired result.
Why is drug therapy monitoring used?
measure blood drug levels so that the most effective dosage can be determined, with toxicity prevented.
