Olanzapine and risperidone plasma concentration therapeutic drug monitoring: A feasibility study

Conclusion:
TDM can be implemented as part of routine clinical practice for both drugs. However, the lack of robust supporting evidence for or against antipsychotic TDM has probably led to a lack of enthusiasm for and interest in the results. Nevertheless, the advent of less invasive measures and the targeting of patients who might be more likely to benefit may facilitate uptake.
