Lethal Dose (LD50) • = the dose of a substance in mg per Kg of body mass,
that kills 50% of sample
• The smaller the LD50, • the more toxic the substance
• Examples: aspirin rat: 200rabbit: 1000
nicotine rat: 50ethanol rat: 9000
![Page 9: OPTION MEDICINES and DRUGS and short overview of the option](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681625c550346895dd2b152/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Medicines and Drugs 9
Effective Dose (ED50) • = the dose of a substance in mg per Kg of
body mass, that is effective to 50% of sample
• The smaller the ED50, • the more effective the substance
• Examples: aspirin 55
![Page 10: OPTION MEDICINES and DRUGS and short overview of the option](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681625c550346895dd2b152/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Medicines and Drugs 10
Therapeutic window
• = the ratio of LD50 over ED50
• The wider the window, • the safer the substance
• Examples: aspirin
therapeutic window = 200/55

Medicines and Drugs 12
Tolerance• Over time and with regular use, the user
requires larger dose of the drug to achieve the effect originally obtained by smaller dose
Increase of hazards (larger amounts) No tolerance to side effects If drug not taken for long time >
decrease of tolerance >overdose
