Several challenges can impede timely administration in toxicology:
Recognition of Symptoms: Early symptoms of toxicity can be non-specific and easily misdiagnosed, delaying appropriate treatment. Availability of Antidotes: Some antidotes may not be readily available in certain healthcare settings, necessitating transport delays. Patient Factors: Variability in patient responses due to age, genetic factors, or pre-existing conditions can alter the onset and progression of toxic effects.
