pharmacotoxicology

Pharmacotoxicology is the study of how drugs and chemicals can cause harmful effects in the body. It examines how substances intended for medical use or present in the environment might become toxic, leading to illness or damage. This field helps us understand the safe levels of drugs and chemicals, how they interact with biological systems, and how to prevent or treat toxic exposures. Overall, it ensures that medicines are safe when used correctly and that harmful risks are minimized.
