Agad Tantra is a branch of Ayurveda that focuses on the study of poisons, including their actions, clinical manifestations, diagnoses of acute, chronic, and cumulative toxicity, and treatments. Poisons can take many forms, including those produced by toxic materials and living organisms that pose a danger to humans. These can include poisonous plants, heavy metals and their compounds, snake and insect venoms, bacterial and non-bacterial food poisoning, as well as artificial poisons such as insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides. Agad Tantra also encompasses the study of occupational and industrial toxicity, including its clinical manifestations, diagnoses, and management. 

In addition, Agad Tantra examines the acute and chronic toxicity of various addictive drugs, including their withdrawal and management. The department provides undergraduate and postgraduate education and training in Ayurvedic classical references to Visha (poison), including its detailed descriptions, classifications, and examinations, the diseases caused by it, principles of management and prevention, as well as legal aspects of medical practice, forensic medicine, and the medical aspects of the law.
