Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The toxicity level of a drug is the point at which it becomes toxic or harmful to the body, causing temporary or permanent damage. This is different from the tolerance level, which refers to the amount of a drug that a person can take before developing a reduced response to its effects. The set point refers to the body's target level of a substance, while potentiating level refers to the amount of a drug that enhances the effect of another drug.
