Medical Toxicology Information

Description

Medical toxicology is the study of toxic effects of chemicals on living beings. A medical toxicologist studies symptoms, treatments and detection of poisoning. Many substances are toxic only if an excessive amount is ingested, including prescription medication, abused drugs, household toxins, and hazardous materials in the workplace. Drug addiction, chemical poisoning, and abuse of medication require the expertise of a toxicologist.
