clinical toxicity

Clinical toxicity refers to harmful effects caused by exposure to substances, such as medications, chemicals, or toxins, that negatively impact the body's functioning. It can result from taking too much of a drug, accidental exposure, or long-term contact with harmful substances. Symptoms vary depending on the substance and exposure level, and they may affect organs, tissues, or systems within the body. Recognizing toxicity early is important for proper treatment, which may involve stopping the substance, supporting affected functions, or using antidotes. Overall, clinical toxicity is about the harmful health consequences resulting from exposure to dangerous agents.
