The book examines the complex interactions associated with
clinical toxicological events as a result of therapeutic drug
administration or deliberate or inadvertent chemical exposure.
Special emphasis is placed on signs and symptoms of syndromes and
pathology caused by chemical exposure and administration of
clinical drugs. Source, pharmacological and toxicological mechanism
of action, toxicokinetics, medicinal chemistry, clinical management
of toxicity, and detection and identification of the drug or
chemical in body fluids, are discussed.
. . . In short, this book is an excellent resource for teachers,
clinical and forensic toxicologists, and physicians practicing
emergency medicine.
