Individual factors that increase the risk of side effects
When taking medications that are eliminated through the kidneys, side effects are more probable if your kidneys are not working properly. Reduced kidney function may cause several other medications to lose their effectiveness.
Gender is another factor that can influence the occurrence of side effects. In comparison to men, women have lower kidney medication clearance rates, higher body fat to water ratios, and lower activity of several hepatic enzymes. According to studies, women are more likely to experience long QT syndrome, digestive side effects, skin irritation, and liver toxicity from drugs.Â
