Modern Medical Toxicology (MMT) was conceived more than 15 years ago as an attempt to present current information on medical aspects of toxicology (especially diagnosis and management) to medical students and physicians. At the time it was first written, the only information on medical toxicology available was contained in the toxicology section of textbooks of forensic medicine, and as can be expected, much of it was outdated, incorrect or inappropriate. Physicians treating poisoned and overdosed victims were often in a quandary for accurate guidelines, and were forced to turn to Western sources of information which did not always help, since the toxicological scenario in the West was (and continues to remain) completely different from that which was encountered in India.
