Review of Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements in Toxicology
Abstract: This article explores the expanding role of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals in toxicology. Although they are widely consumed, there is little proof that using supplements or nutraceuticals can improve health in people who are eating a healthy diet. However, some of these products can be extremely toxic. Moreover, very few people tell their doctors they take supplements. Therefore, there is a high chance of negative drug-supplement interactions. An outline of …

Pharmacovigilance And Drug-Induced Toxicities: A Clinical Perspective
Abstract: Pharmacovigilance, which aims to detect, assess, and prevent medication-induced toxicities and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), is a crucial part of healthcare. This study examines the several kinds of drug-induced toxicities, such as idiosyncratic, dose-dependent, and allergic reactions, and emphasizes the function of clinical pharmacists in the tracking and treatment of these illnesses. Pharmacovigilance systems are crucial because they can identify and handle drug-related safety issues that might not surface during …

Toxicological Profiling and Safety Assessment of NASAT 2.0: A Conceptual Framework for Adaptive Nanoparticle Therapy in Rabies
Abstract: Rabies, caused by the highly neurotropic Rabies lyssavirus, remains one of the most enigmatic and universally lethal infectious diseases known to modern medicine. Once clinical symptoms manifest following successful neuroinvasion, the fatality rate approaches absolute certainty (approximately 99.9%), a staggering statistic that has remained largely unchallenged despite massive, concurrent advances in modern virology, critical care medicine, and cellular immunology. Current late-stage therapeutic protocols, most notably the widely debated Milwaukee Protocol, …
