Toxicity studies: Acute

Acute Toxicity Studies evaluate short-term serious adverse effects after clinical and parenteral administration either as a single dose or in multiple doses during 24 hours. 

The test uses two mammalian species, including one non-rodent, and provides the following information:

  • Potential for acute toxicity in humans 
  • Potential for toxicity against the target organs
  • The time course of drug-induced effects
  • An appropriate dosage for multiple-dose toxicity studies
  • Species differences in toxicity

Data on acute toxicity can predict the outcome in human overdose and supports Phase III clinical trials.
