A member asked:

Can you tell me are some people more easily affected by side effects than others?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side Effects: Each individual is made up of a collection of DNA which codes for genes. The variation in these genes makes each individual unique. Some individuals may have an enzyme or not have an enzyme that works on a medication or substance in the body. This variation can cause someone to be more or less likely to experience side effects.
