“Therapeutic range?”
If you’re in the therapeutic range of medication, does that mean that the medication should be working?
1 Answer
The therapeutic range of a drug is the dosage range or blood plasma or serum concentration usually expected to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This does not mean that patients may not achieve benefit at concentrations below the minimum threshold, or may not experience adverse effects if kept within the range.
Whether the medication is working depends on how long you have been taking the medication and what the expected time is for the medication to be effectively working.
