A Poison Control Centre (PCC) is a specialized health service that provides expert guidance on toxic exposures, overdose management, and risk assessment for medications and chemicals.
In clinical research, PCC consultation may be referenced when evaluating suspected overdoses, investigational product mis-dosing, or exposure-related adverse events. PCC resources can inform protocol safety sections, emergency procedures, and participant instructions for investigational products with toxicity risk. Documentation of PCC guidance may support medical decision-making and safety reporting. Access to PCC expertise strengthens participant safety response planning and risk mitigation.
