I have often read of how different
people have different reactions to
drugs. For example, this is the case
with people from different gene pools.
Oriental people react to alcohol more
adversely, as do Native Indians.
Thallasimia is common in Meditterranean
Eastern European people. In
a mixed gene pool, though I don't think
it's as prevalent.I'm still reading and have come to Dr.
Casper's questions about monitoring of the
drug and knowledge of plasma level. I think
these are important questions, and do not
exclude necessarily the idiosyncratic
predisposition of the person taking the
drug. Dr. Teicher also gives attention to
the individual's response to fluoxetine.Squiggles
