Are patients with these characteristics predisposed to specific diseases which may require drug treatment? If they are more likely to have
specific diseases, what signs/symptoms or laboratory values would you look for to indicate the presence of these diseases? (briefly)
Medical Condition

Medical Conditions
Signs/ Symptoms
Do they have alterations in drug efficacy (pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic) which may require alterations in drug choices? Are they
predisposed to drug toxicity which may require altered doses or drug choices?
Factors that may affect response or efficacy:
Factors that may increase toxicity:
Are they predisposed to factors which may affect their compliance or drug taking behaviour (eg. memory deficits, certain cultural
backgrounds)?
Based on your assessment up to this point, what drug related issues will you need to keep in mind for this patient:

related complications)?
If there is an indication
for drug therapy and a
drug is currently being
given, is it the best1
drug for the patient? If
the best drug, why is it
not working 2?
1. Compare effective alternatives based on efficacy, time frame, toxicity, drug interactions, convenience, and cost.
2. Reasons why the best drug may not be working may include: low dose, drug interaction, drug not being taken as prescribed, need additional therapy,
unexplained.

values are needed to determine therapeutic effectiveness and/or toxicity? Circle the parameters that are the
most realistic to follow in this patient?
