IMHO, as you age, the less able you are to tolerate the standard dosages of drugs that are usually prescribed "one size fits all."

You also may well have a number of genetic mutations in the pathways used to assimilate drugs. I have one big one that contraindicates quite a lot of drugs. You can be tested for this to find out how you are likely to respond to the most common drugs--pharmacogenetic testing.Quote

I've always been intolerant to drugs - it is not only age, but some people are naturally sensitive to them.

My EP had me tested and some of the results get my attention. With some drugs I would need 4 times as much and for others I would need to take only a quarter dose. Others shouldn't be taken at all. She sent the sample to Asperio Labs and insurance paid for it--or at least I didn't!Quote

Where did you have your testing done?
