Abstract
The recent availability of chemical techniques makes it possible to measure plasma levels of psychotropic drugs in relation to clinical response in mental disorders. Although most of the work in this area deals with tricyclic antidepressants, there is a growing interest in pharmacokinetic parameters of antipsychotic medication in schizophrenic illness.
