ADI
Definition
Dose of a drug residue in edible tissues, such as meat, various organs, and fat, which during the entire lifetime of a person seems to be without obvious risk to health based on all toxicological data known at the time.
General Information
The ADI for humans may be determined by applying a safety factor of 1:100 or a safety factor of at least 1:1000 in case of a teratogenic drug. Therapeutic claims made by the manufacturer must coincide with safety and tissue residue data for the drug approved by government regulatory agencies (Chemotherapy).
