Nomograms and Tabulations in designing dosage regimen

For ease of calculation of dosage regimens, many

clinicians rely on nomograms to calculate the proper

dosage regimen for their patients.

 The use of nomogram may give a quick dosage regimen

adjustment for patients with characteristics requiring

adjustments such as age, body weight, and physiologic

state.

 In general, nomogram of a drug is based on population

pharmacokinetic data collected and analyzed using a

specific pharmacokinetic model.
