The main reason for infusing a drug in humans is to achieve a constant systemic exposure with the aim of producing the desired pharmacological effect, while reducing or eliminating any potential adverse effects. In toxicology, the main reason for administering a drug by infusion is to mimic the proposed clinical route and to help establish safety margins in relation to the clinical dosing regimen.
