Drug toxicity: Advanced treatments, innovative discoveries and monitoring rise to the challenge between prevention and therapy

Abstract

Dev Desai and Maria Eleni Malafi

Pharmacology and pharmaceutical science driven by medical progress have excessively evolve the past decades. Although, toxicity caused by drugs remains a major consequence in healthcare. Modern technologies and conscientious research and studies have formed new strategies in facing drug toxicity. Toxicology prediction, the use of toxicity- related biomarkers and genome study contribute effectively in prevention and treatment as far as it concerns drug poising. Furthermore, specifically designed technologies such as nanotechnology offer various therapy capacities. Safety and quality of treatments and new protocols are evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), providing qualification and credibility.
