Thinkin' about poor and extensive metabolizers, or, poor/slow, and extensive/normal/fast metabolizers; two groups, the first w/ the two descriptive words of poor and slow, and the second w/ three descriptive words of extensive, normal, fast. Isn't this correct? Anyone? Doesn't the above lanquage pretty much throw you into the first or second group?
The way I had thought I understood it was as follows:
An extensive/normal/fast metabolizer carries an agent in their body more readily (feeling effects more quickly) and has a longer period of availability (sustaining the effect for a longer period of time), THAN a poor/slow metabolizer.
If the above is correct, a poor/slow metabolizer NEEDS MORE medication or doses.
Am I looking at this backwards?
I had posted about this long ago and tried to search for it, but couldn't find, and my memory is playing tricks on me!
Now, can someone tell me, am I looking at this backwards? I realize I am looking at it simplistically!
Thanks anyone, cf
