Pharmaceutical toxicology or drug toxicology is a branch of toxicology that deals with the toxic effects of drugs on living organisms. It includes the investigation of potential new active pharmaceutical ingredients with regard to their adverse drug reactions and toxicity as well as methods for the prevention and treatment of drug poisoning.

Pharmaceutical toxicology (German translation: pharmazeutische Toxikologie) is an important part of preclinical drug research. It is conducted on animals to assess the safety of new drugs before they are tested on humans in clinical trials (German: klinische Studien).

Pharmaceutical toxicology is an important scientific discipline that contributes to the safety of drugs for human use.

Some examples of applications of pharmaceutical toxicology:

• Assessing the safety of new drugs before they are tested in human clinical trials.
• Studying the mechanisms of toxicity (German: Toxizität) of drugs with the aim of developing methods to reduce it
• Developing methods for the treatment of drug poisoning
• Testing for the absence of toxins as part of the quality control of drugs

Pharmaceutical toxicology is an interdisciplinary science that is closely linked to pharmacology, biochemistry, pharmacy, medicine and other sciences.
