Abstract
Safety of medicines is conventionally subdivided into four aspects, namely:
-
1.
Safety to the target species,
-
2.
Safety to the operator, i.e. the person administering the medicine,
-
3.
Safety to the consumer — in the case of food-producing target species,
-
4.
Safety to the environment.
A fifth aspect, safety to the manufacturing personnel, is outside the scope of this book.
