A simple method for dosage regimen adjustment.
To demonstrate the usefulness of a recently published nomogram method for clinical pharmacokinetics two examples for dosage regimen adjustment (gentamicin and digoxin) are given. Excellent agreement was obtained between the results derived from the nomogram and those by conventional calculation. The nomogram reduces the otherwise necessary use of logarithms and exponential functions to drawing of straight lines and the four basic mathematic functions.
