Abstract:

Voriconazole, as a first-line antifungal treatment, has been widely used in clinics. Significant variability of voriconazole has been found and its pharmacodynamic characteristics vary in different populations. In this paper, the review and evaluation of voriconazole pharmacodynamics are presented to indicate their determined influence factors according to populations and to investigate corresponding strategy of dosage adjustment. Therapeutic drug monitoring is suggested to combine with simulations through population pharmacokinetic/phamacodynamic model to improve the accuracy of dosage adjustment.

Key words: voriconazole, invasive fungal infection, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic drug monitoring
