What is the Role of Hypnotics in Toxicological Research?
Hypnotics play a critical role in toxicological research as they are frequently involved in drug overdose cases. Understanding their pharmacokinetics and toxicodynamics is essential for developing effective treatment strategies. Research is ongoing to develop hypnotics with fewer side effects, lower abuse potential, and reduced risk of dependency. Furthermore, studies on genetic variations and their influence on hypnotic metabolism can provide insights into individualized treatment approaches.
