Do Women Have Adverse Drug Reactions?

Women are 50 to 75% more likely than men to have an adverse drug reaction. The male dominated medical community would tolerate a study of prostate cancer that used only women as research subjects. Biological differences between people assigned male at birth and people assigned female at birth have been used to claim inferiority or superiority, while failing to examine the potential health impact of that difference.

can't that one just echoed in my head for days h nearly anywhere they looked, there was a striking lack of inclusion of women, and enormous consequences because of that. Biological differences between people assigned male at birth and people assigned female at birth have orically been used to claim inferiority or superiority, while failing to examine the potential health impact of that difference, such as in the way drugs are metabolized, which is impacted by fat distribution and hormones, among other factors. So when women aren't included in drug les, should we be surprised by the finding that women arequte, 50 to 75 % more likely than men to have an adverse drug reaction? Ike, that's not a surprising finding.
Speaker 1
It's horrible. Well, and i also just wonder how many of those adverse drug reactions are often just passed off as being, oh, well, like not real, you know, aha, discounted. I'm sure many are.
