The effects of pollution

The effects of pollution are very complex and varied, and have a significant impact on people.

• medical toxicological counseling for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of side effects, exposure of potentially toxic of factors;
• pharmacological counseling for optimizing medicinal therapy of patients with complex clinical issues;
• advising on industrial, environmental and food toxicology;
• personalized toxicological diagnostics through laboratory and diagnostic-instrumental analysis.

Medical Examination 

In many cases, especially with age, becomes necessary to use more drugs. This increases, c the one hand, the possibility of side effects, and on the other may reduce the effectiveness of therapy.

First of all is recommended to carry out a careful pharmacotoxicological analysis for greater confidence in the efficiency and to avoid unexpected side effects, sometimes toxic.

During the medical examination are collected all the information on the state of health of the patient, order to identify all risk factors, and after collecting documentation on the toxicity of the agents,  is developing a program of specific personal diagnostic evaluation.

After gathering all the necessary information is offered therapeutic program for reducing of toxic load. Among the various activities conducted for this purpose importance placed on environmental toxicology and optimization of drug therapy.
