However, the levels of voriconazole in the body can be influenced by a number of factors, and there can be a fine balance between efficacy and toxicity. Too much can lead to adverse effects and toxicity, while too little might not effectively control the infection. As such, monitoring the blood levels of voriconazole can help tailor the most effective dose for each individual patient.
