What Role Does Toxicology Play in Substitution Therapy?
Toxicology plays a crucial role in substitution therapy by helping to identify safe and effective alternatives to harmful substances. Toxicologists study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of potential substitute medications to ensure they provide the desired therapeutic effects without causing additional harm. Furthermore, toxicologists monitor the long-term effects of substitution therapy to identify any potential toxicities or adverse reactions, contributing to the optimization of treatment protocols.
