A member asked:
Is it possible to become immune to a particular medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your body can become tolerant of certain medications. Some medications may fail to be effective for you. This is not the case with most meds, tho. Antibiotics can lose effectiveness against certain bacteria through a process called "resistance". This is not usually a problem experienced by ibdividuals.
