Hi,
I've have checked the side effect profile of a certain medication at drugs.com, and one states 1-10% chance of getting that side effect. Does anybody here know why it has that range of a chance? Would it be closer to 1% based on the dosage being lower, and closer to 10% if the dosage was higher? Thats my guess, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Hi! That could be one factor. I think others would be things like the age of the patient, other diagnoses, etc. Some people get certain side effects and some don't.
 1-10% sounds like good odds of not getting the side effect at all.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
