This video covers the following questions:
- Historically, LCMS has been considered the gold standard for clozapine level measurement. Can you help us understand why that is—and what limitations come with it in real-world psychiatry?
- There’s often discussion about the metabolite-to-parent ratio (MR ratio) in clozapine monitoring. How does rapid testing change the need or relevance of relying on MR ratios?
- How might rapid TDM help bridge gaps in care for patients seen in community settings or those with limited lab access?
