Difference between Adverse effect and Toxicity

Adverse effect vs. Toxicity

In medicine, an adverse effect is an undesired harmful effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism.

Similarities between Adverse effect and Toxicity

Adverse effect and Toxicity have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dose (biochemistry), Immune system, Infection, Inflammation, Liver, Mercury (element), Pathogen, Teratology, Toxicity, Toxicology, Toxin.

Dose (biochemistry)

A dose is a measured quantity of a medicine, nutrient, or pathogen which is delivered as a unit.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.

Toxicology

Toxicology is a discipline, overlapping with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine, that involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms and the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants.

Toxin

A toxin (from toxikon) is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms; synthetic toxicants created by artificial processes are thus excluded.
