Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: I. Neonates with more than 32 weeks of gestational age (GA) and less than 31 days of postnatal age (PNA) and receiving selected drugs. II. Neonates whose blood sample are being sent for routine laboratory investigations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: I. Clinically unstable neonates. II. Neonates whose parents/guardians are unwilling/ unable to give informed consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Method will be developed and validated for estimation of Drug concentrations in blood (using plasma / DBS).Timepoint: I. Drug estimation from the collected DBS/plasma sample will be done once in 3 months of time. II. Factor influencing PK profile of drug will be analyzed in 1 year.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
PK parameters will be used for developing optimal dosage regimen individualized dose calculation for neonatal population including intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) babies to optimize the dose regimen.Timepoint: Population pharmacokinetics model and physiologically based pharmacokinetics model will be developed in 36 months from the initiation of study.
