Median toxic dose

In toxicology, the median toxic dose (TD₅₀) of a drug or toxin is the dose at which toxicity occurs in 50% of cases. The type of toxicity should be specified for this value to have meaning for practical purposes. Since toxicity need not be lethal, the TD₅₀ is generally lower than the median lethal dose (LD₅₀), and the latter can be considered an upper bound for the former.
