Plasma levels of tricyclics and related antidepressants: are they necessary or useful?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Opinions on the value of measuring tricyclic plasma levels vary substantially. In the United States, plasma levels of several tricyclics are frequently used to ‘optimise’ therapy. In the UK, plasma level monitoring is less often undertaken and measured levels are more usually used simply to assure compliance rather than as a guide to dose adjustment.
