Drugs that are monitored usually have a narrow therapeutic index and work best over a small range.
Below this range, the drug is not effective; above this range, the drug has toxic effects that can be dangerous for the patient.
Monitoring certain drugs is therefore very important, especially in cases where patients take more than one medication, as these can interact.
