Therefore beta-blockers should be initiated at very low doses followed by gradual increments in dose. Patients should be carefully monitored for changes in vital signs and symptoms during this increment period. Planned upward titration in the dose of a beta blocker should be delayed until any untoward

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

This quantity of the compound is commonly called the "dose.". If a sufficient dose is taken into the body or comes in contact with a biologic mechanism‚ a harmful
