Multiple conditions: Multiple conditions can affect the way medications/drugs can interact with your body and brain. These include your baseline health, metabolic state and conditions, other medications or drugs, how your liver and kidneys are working. Also how the medication is administered affects how it works. We also are now finding that gender may matter with some medications.
