Prediction of individual dosage of nortriptyline

TB Cooper and GM Simpson

The authors describe a technique that enables a physician to determine individual patient dosage requirements for nortriptyline from a single 24-hour blood sample. Because the technique reveals immediately those patients at the extremes of dosage ranges, toxicity and the need for time-consuming titration of the dosage regimen can be avoided.
