Useful For

Monitoring toxicity in overdose cases

 

Serum concentration and half-life are the only way to assess

degree of intoxication in early stages since other liver function

studies (e.g., bilirubin, liver function enzymes) will not show

clinically significant increases until after tissue damage has

occurred, at which point therapy is ineffective.
