Abstract: Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a kind of cellular immunosuppressant, which is widely used in organ transplantation, blood diseases and autoimmune diseases. Because of its poor oral bioavailability, individual differences and prone to adverse reactions, so clinical therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and individual administration of CsA can ensure its safety and effectiveness. However, the treatment window of CsA is narrow, and its blood concentration is affected by age, sex, diet, drug factors, genetic factors and so on. Therefore, combined with the literature reports at home and abroad, this paper reviews the research on the application of TDM and individual drug administration of CsA, in order to provide more valuable reference for clinical safe and rational drug use.

Key words: TDM, cyclosporin A, individualized administration
