29. Introduction. DHHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics principles are fundamental to achieving the optimal response to antiretroviral drug therapy: successful antiretroviral therapy depends on attaining a therapeutic drug concentration that maximizes efficacy and minimizes toxicity.
