The LD50 test does not account for drug interactions, and is therefore of little use in such cases. |

You may obtain the LD50 number by contacting the manufacturer at the phone number listed on the pesticide label. |
|
That's all well and good, but how do you attach significance to the LD50 numbers that you might find? |
|
Special calculations are used when translating animal LD50 values to possible lethal dose values for humans. |
|
The only figure of real interest is the subcutaneous LD50 as few snakes can ever achieve anything other than that. |
|
The LD50 is a measure of the dose which kills half of the experimental animals to whom a particular drug is administered. |
|
The therapeutic index has many limitations, notably the fact that LD50 cannot be measured in humans and, when measured in animals, is a poor guide to the likelihood of unwanted effects in humans. |

We also hear that her British flick LD50, starring Mel as a right-on middle-class animal activist, is due to be released next month, with a premiere in Leicester Square. |
