Interpatient variation is a substantial clinical problem when considering drug therapy. Examples of variation include failure to respond to treatment, increased incidence of adverse effects, and increased susceptibility to drug interactions.

This variation is hardly surprising, given all the factors that ultimately determine an individual’s response to a drug.
