TOXINZ is an Internet database containing information regarding toxic compounds and the management of poisoned patients.

Designed to meet Australasian requirements the database contains some 165,000 listed chemical products, pharmaceuticals, plants and hazardous creatures; and is rapidly expanding to accommodate more.

This system is designed to enable standardised, seamless management of the poisoned patient from home to hospital by providing three distinct formats:

• TOXINZ First-aid
• TOXINZ Primary Management
• TOXINZ Full Management

The information, while comprehensive, is succinct, easily navigated, and contains clear recommendations on patient management.

Advice, supported with images and nomograms, is fully referenced and reviewed by an international editorial board. Updates are made in real time.
