The Clinical Pharmacokinetics
Service (CPS) ensures safe and
efficacious dosage regimens through the application of
pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic principles and the determination of
drug
serum concentrations. The policy/procedure manual outlines standard
guidelines
which should be followed when providing clinical pharmacokinetic
monitoring
of the following drugs at the University of Kentucky Hospital: aminoglycosides, carbamazepine, digoxin,
fosphenytoin,
lidocaine, lithium, phenobarbital, phenytoin (free and total),
procainamide,
quinidine, theophylline, valproic acid, vancomycin. In addition to the
above list,
the CPS will also provide monitoring for warfarin for patients without
other
assigned clinical pharmacists.
