The book is edited by leading academics and clinicians from India, Australia, and the United States, providing a global perspective on pharmacy practice. It presents essential knowledge on drug therapy optimization, therapeutic drug monitoring, and the diagnosis of malaria using both microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests. Detailed discussions include narrow therapeutic index drugs such as digoxin, theophylline, lithium, and phenytoin, as well as their pharmacokinetic considerations. The text also addresses the use of immunochromatographic test kits for malaria detection and the challenges of implementing these tools in resource‑limited settings. Published in 2012 by Universities Press (India) and distributed by Orient Blackswan, it serves as a reference for students and practicing pharmacists.
