Purpose. To develop a mathematical model for therapeutic drugmonitoring and to assess the kinetic relationships between the intensity ofcorrective action and the approach of drug concentrations to targetvalues.Methods. A mathematical model that succinctly accounts for thecorrective actions and the variability inherent in the pharmacokineticswas used.Results. The validity of the variability term was tested usingexperimental data for steady state concentrations of the drug procainamide.The approach of the monitored process to the target value followedexponential kinetics and an analytical expression for dependence thevariance with time and various dosing parameters was derived. Thevariance of the drug concentration depends critically on a singlenon-dimensional parameter containing the rate constant for the therapeuticcorrective actions and a coefficient describing the variance rate. Whenthe rate constant for the therapeutic corrective actions was less thanthis critical value, the variance increased indefinitely.Conclusions. From a dosing standpoint, large variances in drugconcentrations are undesirable because some patients will be overdosedor underdosed. Since deterministic models cannot provide analyticalsolutions for the moments of drug concentration distribution functions,stochastic models can be used to provide useful insights into the designof therapeutic regimens.
