title: Therapeutic monitoring of the anti-anginal drug perhexiline maleate.
abstract: Patients taking oral doses of perhexiline maleate have been examined. Measurement of serum perhexiline concentrations established that different dose requirements between patients were necessary due to the different doses at which drug saturation was achieved. Measurement of serum perhexiline concentrations are essential if side-effects from the drug are to be avoided.
