GENDER-SPECIFIC DOSING
Generally speaking, women tend to be more sensitive to medication than men due to metabolic differences. Combine that with the fact that most medications on the market have not been extensively tested in women, and you are likely to have recommended starting dosages that are too high for women. With this in mind, women are advised to ask their physicians if they would be better off taking a lower-thanusual dose of medications prescribed for them. In the event that a female patient does begin her regimen with a low dose, the doctor should monitor her progress during the first few weeks and months to make sure that the dosage is effective. If not, an increase may be called for.
