Abstract

Dose-Response Relationship in Toxicology and Pharmacology: Types and Applications

Micak Widicey*

The dose-response relationship is one of the foundational principles in both toxicology and pharmacology. It describes how the biological response to a chemical substance be it a drug, toxin, or environmental agent varies with its dose or concentration. Understanding this relationship is critical for assessing the efficacy, safety and risk associated with chemical exposures and pharmaceutical interventions. In pharmacology, dose-response data helps to determine the minimum effective dose, the optimal therapeutic range and the maximum tolerated dose.
