thats why we don't like when pharmacist perscribe drugs for patient , they don't examine patient and only give them a drug which is supposed to heal the symptoms of the patient without considering other things. its even present in our traditional medicine or medicine of other countries that have a history of rich tradtional medicine like china . no two patient get simillar perscriptionThat's very likely to happen but it's a prediction.
I wouldn't count gender as a "racial difference" to be honest. And you're right but when you open a pharmacology book they don't mention racial differences even for generic drugs. They discuss how the drug affects the elderly, children, adults with particular conditions, pregnant women and things like contraindications and side effects. At least my book never separated the effects of drug on Europeans, Asians or Africans.
and thats the problem with text books , thats why today trends is to base your practice on studies and why something like uptodate become so popular
