Illustration of factors contributing to individual differences in drug exposure. In addition to pharmacogenetics, demographic factors (age, weight, and sex), clinical factors (organ function and other drugs), dosing factors (formulation, route, and timing), and issues such as adherence and food intake are important determinants of drug exposure. Interindividual differences in drug exposure can lead to differences in drug response, including inefficacy or toxicity.
