Abstract
A simple, new technique (the direct linear plot) for predicting steady-state serum phenytoin concentrations is described. Although no calculations are required, reliable estimates (comparable with those derived by computer) of the Michaelis-Menten parameters can be readily determined and used graphically to predict the individualized dose required to achieve a desired serum concentration.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
