Individualized drug dosing is really important in medicine for a few reasons:

1. Different Reactions to Medicine:

   • Did you know that up to 75% of patients can react very differently to medications? This can happen because of things like genetics, age, weight, and how well their kidneys or liver are working.

2. Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM):

   • TDM helps doctors find the right dose of medicine. It makes sure that the amount of medicine in the body stays within a safe and effective range.
   • For example, by checking the levels of medicines used for seizures, doctors can help prevent seizures and reduce the chances of side effects in about 35% of patients.

3. Better Patient Results:

   • When doctors use personalized dosing for medications, it can lead to better results for patients. Studies show that this method can reduce harmful side effects by around 30%.

In summary, figuring out the right dose for each person is essential to ensure that medicine works well and is safe for everyone!
