Medication adjustments are necessary for several reasons:
Patient Response: Individuals can respond differently to the same medication. Some may experience adverse effects, while others may not achieve the desired therapeutic outcome. Drug Interactions: Patients often take multiple medications, which can interact and affect the efficacy or safety of the treatment. Changes in Health Status: Conditions such as renal or hepatic impairment can affect how drugs are metabolized and eliminated, necessitating dosage adjustments. Age-Related Considerations: Elderly patients and children may require different dosages due to variations in metabolism and body composition.
