1. Optimizing Drug Dosage: Understanding PK/PD profiles helps in determining the optimal drug dosage that maximizes efficacy while minimizing toxicity. 2. Population Variability: These studies reveal how different populations (e.g., age groups, ethnicities) respond to drugs, which is vital for personalized medicine. 3. Drug Resistance: PK/PD models can help predict the emergence of drug resistance, crucial for managing infectious diseases. 4. Public Health Policies: Insights from PK/PD studies inform public health guidelines and regulatory decisions.
