drug concentration

0.07 sec.

drug concentration,

the amount of drug in a given volume of plasma (e.g., number of micrograms per milliliter). Toxic drug levels may be observed when the body's normal mechanisms for metabolizing and excreting drugs are impaired, as commonly occurs in patients with liver or kidney disorders and in infants with immature organs. Dosage adjustments should be made in such individuals to accommodate their impaired metabolism and excretion.
