Tobramycin is a powerful antibiotic. To minimize its toxic side
effects, the dose can be individ- ualized for each patient. Thirty
patients participated in a study of the accuracy of this
individualized dosing. For each patient, the actual peak
concentration (ug/ml) of Tobramycin in the blood serum was
measured, and the predicted peak concentration of Tobramycin was
calculated, based on the patient's age, sex, weight, and other
characteristics. The results were reported as in the table.
