What Role Do Toxicologists Play in Addressing the Issue?
Toxicologists are at the forefront of identifying and characterizing new designer opioids. Their work involves not only the detection and analysis of these compounds but also the assessment of their toxicological profiles. This information is critical for informing public health strategies, law enforcement efforts, and clinical management protocols. Toxicologists also collaborate with chemists and pharmacologists to understand the mechanisms of action of these drugs and develop effective countermeasures.
