Abstract

Fatal drug concentrations in body fluids and tissue samples are presented for more than 200 drugs and chemicals of
toxicologic interest. Additionally, a reference list is added with more than 600 original papers concerning intoxications with a
lethal outcome. The data can be helpful for the interpretation and plausibility control in own cases of intoxication. However, they
should be used with caution, because use of drug data without sufficient knowledge about the patient or victim, the
circumstances of the case, and about toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics might give a wrong interpretation in a special case.
