Abstract:

Voriconazole is widely used as the first-line treatment for invasive fungal infections, but its therapeutic window is narrow, and inter-individual and intra-individual variability in voriconazole pharmacokinetic properties is high. Here, we analyzed the domestic and foreign literatures on the population pharmacokinetics of voriconazole and summarized the population pharmacokinetic characteristics of voriconazole in patients with invasive fungal infections, transplant patients or immunodeficiency patients, and the application in the design of dosage regimen, to improve drug treatment efficiency, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, thereby providing theoretical basis for clinically individualized voriconazole administration.

Key words: voriconazole, population pharmacokinetics, individualized drug administration, non-linear mixed effect modeling
