Definición

  • Therapeutic failure has been defined as a failure to accomplish the goals of treatment resulting from inadequate or inappropriate drug therapy and not related to the natural progression of disease. A lack of therapeutic effect from inadequate drug therapy may include noncompliance, recent dose reduction or discontinuation, drug–drug interaction, too low a dose of drug prescribed, and inadequate therapeutic drug monitoring.
