Question (I'm always full of 'em, sorry):
Does the different profile of side effects that people have to the same drug (even on an empty stomach) have to do with different drug metabollizing rates of those individuals? Or is it more to do with an "allergic-type" reactions? I suppose a combination of the above and more...
Seems we already have a large profile scale of reactions (i.e. unpredictable) either way for many of these drugs...?
