The dose makes the poison. Drinking too much water can kill you, while botulinum toxin, the most acutely toxic substance we know of, can be used medically in very small amounts.

Chemo medications (as well as all other medications) have been tested to find the dose that offers the most benefit while minimizing the toxicity.
