Report
Medications do not work the same for everyone. Your DNA (genetic makeup) influences the way your body responds to various medicines. If you are taking a medication that is not a good "match" for your genes, it could increase your chances of unwanted side effects, or you could be taking a medication that is not as effective for you.
