Vancomycin serum concentrations in patients with renal dysfunction: a comparison of fluorescence polarization immunoassay and the enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Several reports of loss of efficacy or adverse effects have been described after generic substitution of antipsychotics. To date, studies comparing serum drug levels in patients switched to generic antipsychotics in a standard clinical setting are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate if switchin...
