Reference no: EM133712447

Question

Women may need different dosage schedules than men for medications due to variances in hormone impacts and receptor distribution between the sexes. Interindividual variability in medication response might result from genetic changes in receptor subtypes or drug metabolism enzymes. This emphasizes the need for pharmacogenetic testing in customizing treatment strategies. Comorbid conditions including renal impairment or cardiovascular illness might alter medication clearance or intensify adverse effects, requiring careful monitoring and dosage modifications.
