- Description
Narrow therapeutic index (NTI) drugs are defined as those drugs where small differences in dose or blood concentration may lead to dose and blood concentration dependent, serious therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions. Serious events are those which are persistent, irreversible, slowly reversible, or life-threatening, possibly resulting in hospitalization, disability, or even death.
