Topic
The subject deals with toxic effects resulting from the overdose or misuse of drugs and from exposure to various xenobiotics such as metals, solvents, toxic gases, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, fungal and plant toxins. It covers in detail the general aspects of toxicology, the mechanisms of toxic effects and the factors that influence their development, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options. It also covers the basics of drug safety testing and risk assessment
