Variability in response to drugs.

M D Rawlins

    British Medical Journal
    |October 12, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Drug response variability stems from the disease, tissue responsiveness, and drug concentration. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective and rational drug therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Pharmacy
    • Drug Action

    Background:

    • Individual responses to medications vary significantly.
    • Understanding the sources of this variability is key to optimizing treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the primary components contributing to variable drug responses.
    • To emphasize the importance of these components for rational drug therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of drug response determinants.
    • Review of established pharmacological principles.

    Main Results:

    • Drug response variability is attributed to three main factors: the disease itself, tissue responsiveness, and drug concentration at the site of action.

  • The influence of each component varies across different drugs and even different effects of the same drug.

    • Conclusions:

    • Rational drug therapy necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the disease, patient-specific tissue responsiveness, and achievable drug concentrations.
    • Tailoring treatment based on these three components can lead to more effective patient outcomes.
