ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between salivary drug concentration and blood,drug level its clinic sig-nificance.METHODS:The salivary drug concentration and blood drug level of gentamicin of15volunteer cases were deter-mined by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS:Both blood drug level and salivary drug concentration of gentamicin reached to peak level1hour after medication.CONCLUSION:The blood drug level of gentamicin and the salivary drug concentration of gentamicin are positively correlated,i.e.it is possible for salivary to substitute for blood in the therapeutic drug monitoring of gentamicin.
