Sintesi	Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical pharmacokinetic practice in which drug concentrations are measured in a patient's blood to guide individualized dosing. It applies principally to drugs with narrow therapeutic windows—where the margin between efficacy and toxicity is small—such as aminoglycosides, vancomycin, cyclosporine, and antiepileptics. Developed as a formal discipline in the 1980s, TDM integrates measured concentrations with pharmacokinetic modeling to calculate patient-specific dose regimens.	Population Pharmacokinetics (PopPK) is a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling framework that characterizes how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated across a patient population, estimating both typical population parameters and the magnitude of between-subject variability. Introduced by Sheiner, Rosenberg, and Marathe in 1977, it enables parameter estimation from sparse, routinely collected clinical data—making it indispensable in drug development, regulatory submissions, and individualized dosing.
