A member asked:
Why does medicine affect people differently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Each of us is unique: Since no two people are 100% alike, then no two people will have the same exact response to any medication. Each organ system will function differently. There are normal ranges of response but no exact response. Not only that, even germs don't respond the same way to different drugs!
