Phyllocontin - has anyone been in this situation ?

After two and a bit years of being on Phyllocontin, I requested a blood level for this drug and the result show that it is just below the therapeutic level. I am not entirely sure that I benefit from this medication.

Any comments from anyone please?

I take Phyllocontin. Can you explain more about the blood level bit please as I just take it and haven't really looked into it ? :)

As far as I am aware there is a therapeutic level to this drug which is between 10 and 20 micrograms/mLitre. Over this level is not nice because of the effects of the medication and below the lower level -my understanding is then that the drug is not effective .
