Which reference provides comprehensive information on overdoses and toxicology?

  1. American Association of Poison Control Centers

  2. Europe Drug Index

  3. Clinicaltrials.gov

  4. Goodman and Gilman's

The correct answer is: American Association of Poison Control Centers

The American Association of Poison Control Centers is the ideal reference for comprehensive information on overdoses and toxicology because it is a well-established organization specifically dedicated to monitoring poisonings and providing accurate and up-to-date information on toxic substances. On the other hand, Europe Drug Index and Clinincaltrials.gov are more generally focused on drug information and clinical trials, respectively, so they may not have as much in-depth information on overdoses and toxicology. Additionally, Goodman and Gilman's is a pharmacological text that primarily covers therapeutic uses of drugs rather than toxicological aspects, so it may not be as comprehensive in this area.
