Improving Individualized Salbutamol Treatment: A Population Pharmacokinetic Model for Oral Salbutamol in Virtual Patients
Despite current contraindications for oral salbutamol, our findings suggest that certain individuals, particularly children, may benefit from oral treatment over inhalation. We also identified individual characteristics associated with increased salbutamol toxicity risk, indicating the need for dose adjustment or alternative administration. This study further highlights the potential of popPK modeling in personalized therapy through a fully in silico approach.
