What is the Importance of Patient Education in Prescription Toxicology?
Patient education is paramount in prescription toxicology to ensure that patients understand their medications, including the potential risks and benefits. Educating patients about the signs of toxicity, the importance of adhering to prescribed dosages, and the risks of sharing medications can significantly reduce the incidence of drug-related adverse effects. Toxicologists often collaborate with healthcare providers to develop educational materials and programs tailored to patient needs.
