The drug therapy window refers to the reasonable treatment range in which the concentration of the drug in the body is between the lowest effective concentration and the lowest toxic concentration. If the concentration is below this range, no therapeutic effect can be produced, and if it is above this range, toxic reactions may occur. This concept is also known as the therapeutic range, used to define the safe and effective concentration range for drug clinical application.

The width of the treatment window varies depending on the drug. Some drugs such as warfarin, digoxin, cyclosporine, etc. have a narrow treatment window, and their minimum effective concentration is close to the minimum toxic concentration. Therefore, strict dosage control is required in clinical application to avoid toxic reactions.
