These recommendations have been made considering pharmacotherapeutic goals based on minimum concentration (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">C</mi><mi>min</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) between 15–20 <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>mg</mi><mo>/</mo><mi mathvariant="normal">L</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>.
