Clinical Utility of Toxicology Testing

Toxicology testing is an extremely valuable asset to the pharmacist in the evaluation and management of the poisoned patient. There is extensive use of toxicology screens and expensive and time-consuming quantitative analysis for toxins that could be more appropriately directed by the pharmacist who has an extensive background in toxicokinetics and pharmacology. The managed care environment mandates even more prudent use of toxicology testing. Application of the results of toxicology testing by the pharmacist can contribute to decisions regarding the patient's therapy and prognosis.
